August 25, 2017 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Surrender of International Section 214 Authorizations and Notification of Provision of International Telecommunications Services Through Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Windstream Services, LLC Dear Ms. Dortch: Pursuant to Section 63.21(h) of the Commission’s rules, ten wholly-owned subsidiaries of Windstream Services, LLC (“Windstream”) surrender their international Section 214 authorizations. In addition, 39 subsidiaries of Windstream notify the Commission of their reliance on the international Section 214 authorization of their indirect parent company Windstream. In the last several years, Windstream and its parent company consummated a number of corporate acquisitions resulting in its ownership of a variety of entities holding international Section 214 authorizations. These authorizations are duplicative of the global facilities-based and global resale authority in the international Section 214 authorization held by Windstream. To reduce the administrative burden associated with its Commission authorizations, these ten subsidiaries are surrendering their international Section 214 authorizations, as detailed in Attachment 1. Instead, they and certain of their subsidiaries, as identified in Attachment 1, will provide international telecommunications services in reliance on the international Section 214 authorization of Windstream, FCC File No. ITC-214-19980925-00658. Consistent with the requirements of Section 63.21(h) of the Commission’s rules, these 39 subsidiaries are entitled to rely on the international Section 214 authorization of Windstream. Neither Windstream nor any of its subsidiaries is regulated as dominant for a particular route. Each of the subsidiaries will commence service in reliance on Windstream’s international Section 214 authorization as of the date of this surrender notice. These subsidiaries will continue to provide the same services before and after these relinquishments and commencement of service in reliance on Windstream’s international Section 214 authorization. At no time will any of these subsidiaries provide international telecommunications services without Commission authorization—whether issued in the name of each subsidiary pre-surrender or in reliance on Windstream’s authorization post-relinquishment. 1919 M STREET NW | EIGHTH FLOOR | WASHINGTON, DC 20036 | TEL 202 730 1300 | FAX 202 730 1301 | HWGLAW.COM
