       File Nos. ITC-214-20050623-00237, ITC-ZI4-20050621-00231,            and SCL-LIC-

       Modification of License Request

Dear Ms. Dortch:

       By its attomey, Global Caribbean Network SAS ("GCN") hereby reports to            the
Commission that, effective September 8, 2014, together with its parent companies Global
Caribbean Fiber SAS (*GCF") and Auto-Guadeloupe Investissement, S.A. ("AGI")
(collectively, the 'ol,oret Companies"), it entered into the attached Network Security
Agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of
Justice (the "U.S. Govemment Parties"). GCN requests that the Commission condition
GCN's above-captioned authorizations upon the compliance by the Loret Companies to the
terms of the Network Security Agreement.

        Background. The Loret Companies entered into the Network Security Agreement at
the request of the U.S. Government Parties in connection with their review of the application
for transfer of control of Antilles Crossing - St. Croix, Inc. ("ACSC") from GCF to Fiber
Investment Holdings Limited IBC (*FIHL"). By Public Notice, DA 14-1311, released
September 10, 2014, the Commission announced its grant of that application subject to the
compliance by ACSC and FIHL to the terms of the December 7,2007 Agreement by and
among ACSC, Leucadia National Corporation and AGI, as amended by the September 8,
2014 Amendment No. I to the December 7,2007 Agreement. See SCL-T/C-20131219-
00017. In conjunction with their review of the ACSC transfer of control application, the U.S.
Government Parties also requested the Loret Companies to enter into a separate Network
Security Agreement governing the GCN submarine fiber optic network, and that the above-
captioned GCN authorizations be conditioned upon compliance by the Loret Companies with
the terms of the Network Security Agreement.
