(“ 360- CMI” or “Transferee”) and Dynegy Global Communications, Inc. (“ DGC” or “Transferor”) (together “Applicants”), filed an application pursuant to section 63.04 of the Commission’s rules, 1 to transfer control of Dynegy Connect, L. P., (“ Dynegy Connect”) from DGC to 360- CMI. 2 Applicants assert that this transaction is entitled to presumptive streamlined treatment pursuant to section 63.03( b)( 2)( i) of the Commission’s rules because the transaction would result in the Transferee having a market share in the interstate, interexchange market of less than 10 percent; the Transferee would provide competitive telephone exchange services or exchange access services (if at all) exclusively in geographic areas served by a dominant local exchange carrier that is not a party to the transaction; and neither of the applicants is dominant in the provision of any service. 3 Dynergy Connect provides interstate telecommunications services throughout the continental United States. 360- CMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of 360networks Corporation, a provider of telecommunications services and network infrastructure in North America to carrier and data communications companies.

Prior to closing, DGC will acquire the remaining 20% partnership interest in Dynegy Connect, which is presently held by Telstra, Ltd. Applicants state that the proposed transfer of control will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity by promoting competition among telecommunications carriers. Applicants state that approval of the proposed transfer of control of Dynegy Connect from DGC to 360- CMI will enable 360networks Corporation to expand its existing fiber network and thereby increase its operational flexibility and efficiency in developing high- quality, reliable and innovative broadband network service offerings across North America. Applicants assert that these enhancements will inure directly to the benefit of existing customers of Dynegy Connect and ultimately to consumers in the domestic telecommunications marketplace.
