       RE:     Cable Landing License Held by Tyco Telecommunications (US) Inc., FCC File
               No. SCL-LIC-20050304-00011

       Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(g)(7), Tyco Telecommunications (US) Inc. (“Tyco
Telecom,” FRN 0003293388) hereby notifies the FCC of a pro forma transfer of control of the
above-referenced cable landing license for the mostly-unbuilt original southern segment of what
was originally known as the Tyco Pacific system (extending between California, Hawaii, and
Guam), which currently consists of a cable stub extending 6 nautical miles seaward from
Hermosa Beach, California.1 As a consequence of the reorganization transaction consummated
on March 20, 2009, and detailed below (“Reorganization Transaction”), control of Tyco
Telecom was transferred from TSSL Holding Corp. (“TSSL”) to Tyco Electronics (NV), Inc
(“TENV”). Ultimately, Tyco Telecom remains an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco
Electronics Ltd. (“TE Parent”), as previously notified to the Commission on August 24, 2007,
with respect to a previous pro forma transaction.2

        As part of an internal corporate restructuring, TSSL transferred all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Tyco Telecom to TENV. TSSL, TENV, and Tyco Telecom are all
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of TE Parent. Accordingly, the Reorganization Transaction

    Telecommunication (US) Inc. and Tyco Electronics Ltd. to FCC Secretary Marlene H.

did not alter the ultimate ownership or control of the above-referenced cable landing license.
Tyco Telecom was an indirect subsidiary of TE Parent prior to the Reorganization Transaction
and remains so following consummation of the Reorganization Transaction.

        The Reorganization Transaction consisted of six simultaneous steps involving the
intermediate holding and operating companies in the chain of ownership between TE Parent and
Tyco Telecom, which was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TSSL, which in turn was a
direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TyCom (US) Holdings, Inc. (“TYUSHI”):

   •   Step 1:     TSSL merged into its sole direct parent TYUSHI, with TYUSHI surviving,
                   making TYUSHI the sole direct parent of Tyco Telecom.

   •   Step 2:     TyCom Simplex Holdings, Inc., the sole direct parent of Tyco Integrated
                   Cable Systems, Inc., merged into its sole direct parent TYUSHI, with
                   TYUSHI surviving.

   •   Step 3:     M/A COM Tech Holdings, Inc.—the immediate parent company of M/A-
                   COM—merged into TENV, with TENV surviving, and M/A-COM as a direct
                   subsidiary of TENV.

   •   Step 4:     TYUSHI transferred the stock of its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary Tyco
                   Integrated Cable Systems, Inc. to Tyco Telecom.

   •   Step 5:     TYUSHI transferred the stock of its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary Tyco
                   Telecom to TENV, making Tyco Telecom a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary
                   of TENV.

   •   Step 6:     TENV transferred the stock of M/A-COM to Tyco Telecom.

The attached diagrams illustrate these steps.

       TENV is a Nevada corporation engaged in the business of a holding company. TENV’s
contact information is as follows:
