Exhibit E: Response to FCC Form 312, Question A20 The assignee, Verizon North LLC (“Verizon North”), is a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”). No persons or entities hold a direct or indirect 10 percent or greater interest in Verizon. Verizon is a Delaware corporation with its primary address at 140 West Street, New York, NY 10007. Verizon is a holding company that owns operating subsidiaries that provide a range of communications services in the United States and throughout the world. The company’s operating subsidiaries offer local telephone service, as well as broadband, nationwide long- distance, high-capacity connections, video, and other services. Verizon’s subsidiaries own, operate, monitor, and maintain extensive communications networks, with facilities in countries and cities throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Further, Verizon is a majority owner of Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, which serves over 93 million wireless voice and data subscribers across the United States. Exhibit F: Response to FCC Form 312, Question A21 This application is being filed to notify the Commission of the pro forma assignment of receive- only earth station registration, Call Sign E050135, to Verizon North LLC. To effectuate Verizon’s business goals, the company restructured its interest in certain assets originally held by Verizon North Inc. and retained by Verizon following its transaction with Frontier.1 Those assets and related licenses, authorizations, and registrations are now assigned to Verizon North LLC.2 Because Verizon has retained ultimate ownership and control of the registration both before and after this internal reorganization, the transaction is deemed pro forma in nature. The Commission has previously stated that, in situations where no substantial change of control will occur, “grant of the application is deemed presumptively in the public interest.”3 1 In the Matter of Applications Filed by Frontier Communications Corporation and Verizon Communications Inc. for Assignment or Transfer of Control, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 25 FCC Rcd 5972 (2010). 2 Verizon previously informed the Commission of the pro forma assignment of wireless and Section 214 authorizations that occurred as part of this restructuring.
