                                 Response to Question A21

                                            Exhibit F

The purpose of this application is to assign an operating VSAT network from a company that is
facing serious fiscal challenges to one that is financially sound and has a large market of rural
Alaskan native consumers, many of whom do not currently have access to the Internet at
reasonable rates. This assignment will provide the means by which satellite-based Internet
services, interconnected at the Sedalia, Colorado teleport, can be offered to large regions of
Alaska for the benefit of its rural, unserved and underserved residents. Both Congress's efforts
and the Commission's policies in recent years have endeavored to bring broadband access to
rural Alaska. Assignment of this VSAT network to Alaska Telecom, Inc. represents a major step
toward fulfilling these goals and policies. The public interest will be served by expeditious grant
of this application.
