ISP-PDR-20070214-00005 P
Date of Action: 05/22/2007
Teltranet LLC (Teltranet or the "Petitioner") has filed a request for a declaratory ruling (the "Petition") that indirect foreign
ownership of Teltranet Licenses LLC (Teltranet Licenses), to be established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teltranet, is consistent
with the public interest under section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act").  Teltranet filed its
Petition in connection with an application that seeks consent to assign certain common carrier point-to-point microwave licenses
from Telink Networks SW, LLC (Networks) to Teltranet Licenses (File No. ULS 0002910709).
Teltranet Licenses will be formed as a Delaware limited liability company.  Its 100% parent company, Teltranet, is also a Delaware
limited liability company.  Teltranet is jointly owned by Horizon Tower LLC (Horizon) (75% equity and voting interests) and
Networks (25% equity and voting interests).  Horizon is organized in Delaware, and Networks is organized in Nevada.  Networks is
ultimately wholly owned by Patrick H. Barringer, a citizen of Canada.
Approximately 99% of the equity and voting interests in Horizon are held by four investment funds affiliated with Duff Ackerman &
Goodrich (collectively, the DAG Funds).  Each of the DAG Funds is organized in the United States.  Three of the funds are controlled
by DAG II LLC, a U.S. limited liability company (DAG II).  DAG II holds a 1.00% equity interest in two of the funds that it controls.
DAG II, in turn, is controlled by two U.S. citizens, each of whom holds 35.343% of DAG II's membership interests.  John Cadeddu, a
Canadian citizen, holds the remaining 9.679% of DAG II's membership interests and is prohibited from participating in the day-to-day
management of all matters dealing with Horizon.  Mr. Cadeddu also holds a 4.00% membership interest in one of the DAG Funds.
According to the Petition, certain of the DAG Fund investors are foreign citizens or entities, or are controlled by foreign entities.  The
Petition states that all of these foreign investors are prohibited from participating in the day-to-day management of the funds and
together hold approximately 24% of the equity investment in Horizon.
Pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the Act and the rules and policies established in the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12
FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), we find that the indirect foreign ownership of Teltranet
Licenses in excess of 25 percent is consistent with the public interest.  Specifically, this ruling permits Teltranet Licenses to be owned
indirectly by:  (1) Patrick H. Barringer, a Canadian citizen (up to and including 25% of the equity and voting interests); (2) John
Cadeddu, a Canadian citizen (up to and including 0.213% of the equity and 9.824% of the voting interests); (3) as limited partners of
Duff Ackerman & Goodrich QP II, L.P., (a) the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board, Blackboard Ventures Inc., and 1208934
Ontario Limited (individually and collectively, up to and including 11.541% of the equity and 18.08% of the voting interests); (b)
WestLB Mellon Asset Management Holdings Limited, Mellon JV Limited, and WestLB AG (up to and including 9.04% of the voting
interests); (c) the named foreign limited partners of Special Private Equity Partners, L.P. (up to and including 0.796 of the equity and
1.248 of the voting interests); (d) Prudential, plc, PACUS (UK) Limited, and The Prudential Assurance Company Limited (individually
and collectively, up to and including 4.328 of the equity and 6.780 of the voting interests); and (e) The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi
UFJ, Limited and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (individually and collectively, up to and including 1.847% of the equity and
2.893% of the voting interests); and (4) as a limited partner of Duff Ackerman & Goodrich II, L.P., Pimco Investment BV, Fremont
Holdings SA, and Marine Trust (individually and collectively, up to and including 0.577% of the equity and 0.769% of the voting
interests), and Private Capital Trust, Ltd. (up to and including 0.769% of the voting interests).
Teltranet Licenses may accept up to and including an additional aggregate 25 percent indirect equity and/or voting interests from these
foreign investors and from other foreign investors without seeking prior Commission approval under section 310(b)(4) of the Act
subject to the condition that Teltranet Licenses shall obtain prior approval before any foreign individual or entity acquires individually
a greater-than-25 percent indirect equity or voting interest.  For purposes of calculating the additional, aggregate 25 percent amount,
Teltranet Licenses shall include any additional equity or voting interests acquired by its current foreign investors or new foreign
investors.
Finally, as a Commission licensee, Teltranet Licenses has an affirmative duty to continue to monitor its foreign equity and voting
interests and to calculate these interests consistent with the attribution principles enunciated by the Commission.

CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO INTERNATIONAL SECTION 214 AUTHORIZATIONS
(1) These authorizations are subject to the Exclusion List for International Section 214 Authorizations, which identifies
restrictions on providing service to particular countries or using particular facilities. The most recent Exclusion List is
attached to this Public Notice. The list applies to all U.S. international carriers, including those that have previously
received global or limited global Section 214 authority, whether by streamlined grant or specific written order. Carriers are
advised that the attached Exclusion List is subject to amendment at any time pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Streamlining the International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements, IB Docket No. 95-118, 11 FCC
Rcd 12884 (1996), para. 18. A copy of the current Exclusion List will be maintained in the FCC Reference and Information
Center and will be available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/td/pf/exclusionlist.html. It also will be attached to each Public Notice
that grants international Section 214 authority.
(2) The export of telecommunications services and related payments to countries that are subject to economic sanctions
may be restricted. For information concerning current restrictions, call the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S.
Department of the Treasury, (202) 622-2520.
(3) Carriers shall comply with the requirements of Section 63.11 of the Commission's rules, which requires notification by,
and in certain circumstances prior notification by, U.S. carriers acquiring an affiliation with foreign carriers. A carrier that
acquires an affiliation with a foreign carrier will be subject to possible reclassification as a dominant carrier on an affiliated
route pursuant to the provisions of Section 63.10 of the rules.  The Commission recently amended Section 63.11 of the
rules in its Order on Reconsideration in IB Docket No. 97-142, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000).
(4) Carriers shall comply with the Commission's International Settlements Policy and associated filing requirements
contained in Sections 43.51 and 64.1001 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 43.51, 64.1001.  The Commission modified
these requirements most recently in 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review, Policy and Rules Concerning the International,
Interexchange Marketplace, FCC 01-93, released, March 20, 2001, 66 Fed. Reg. 16874 (Mar. 28, 2001).  See also 1998
Biennial Regulatory Review - Reform of the International Settlements Policy and Associated Filing Requirements, IB
Docket Nos. 98-148, 95-22, CC Docket No. 90-337 (Phase II), FCC 99-73 (rel. May 6, 1999).  In addition, any carrier
interconnecting private lines to the U.S. public switched network at its switch, including any switch in which the carrier
obtains capacity either through lease or otherwise, shall file annually with the Chief, International Bureau, a certified
statement containing, on a country-specific basis, the number and type (e.g., 64 kbps circuits) of private lines
interconnected in such manner. The Commission will treat the country of origin information as confidential. Carriers need
not file their contracts for interconnection unless the Commission specifically requests. Carriers shall file their annual
report on February 1 (covering international private lines interconnected during the preceding January 1 to December 31
period) of each year. International private lines to countries for which the Commission has authorized the provision of
switched basic services over private lines at any time during a particular reporting period are exempt from this
requirement. See 47 C.F.R. § 43.51(d).
(5) Carriers authorized to provide private line service either on a facilities or resale basis are limited to the provision of
such private line service only between the United States and those foreign points covered by their referenced
applications for Section 214 authority. In addition, the carriers may not -- and their tariffs must state that their customers
may not -- connect their private lines to the public switched network at either the U.S. or foreign end, or both, for the
provision of international switched basic services, unless the Commission has authorized the provision of switched
services over private lines to the particular country at the foreign end of the private line or the carrier is exchanging
switched traffic with a foreign carrier that the Commission has determined lacks market power in the country at the foreign
end of the private line. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.16, 63.22(e), 63.23(d).  A foreign carrier lacks market power for purposes of this
rule if it does not appear on the Commission list of foreign carriers that do not qualify for the presumption that they lack
market power in particular foreign points.  This list is available at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/Public_Notices/1999/da990809.txt.  See generally 1998 Biennial Regulatory
Review - Reform of the International Settlements Policy and Associated Filing Requirements, IB Docket Nos. 98-148,
95-22, CC Docket No. 90-337 (Phase II), FCC 99-73 (rel. May 6, 1999), paras. 12-15, 102-109.
(6) The Commission has authorized the provision of switched basic services via facilities-based or resold private lines
between the United States and the following foreign points: Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom,
Australia, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy,
Ireland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Spain, Finland, Israel, Singapore, Netherlands Antilles, Poland, Argentina, United Arab

Salvador, Taiwan, Nicaragua, Turkey, Peru, Morocco, Ghana, Bolivia, Guyana, Mongolia, Zimbabwe, Gambia, Nigeria,
Bangladesh, Indonesia, Tunisia, Qatar, Oman, Mauritius, New Caledonia, Guniea, Suriname, and Fiji Islands.
(7) Carriers may engage in "switched hubbing" to countries for which the Commission has not authorized the provision
of switched basic services over private lines consistent with Section 63.17(b) of the rules.
(8) Carriers may provide U.S. inbound or outbound switched basic service via their authorized private lines extending
between or among the United States, Sweden, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Australia, The Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, Ireland, Hong Kong,
Iceland, Spain, Finland, Israel, Singapore, Netherlands Antilles, Poland, Argentina, United Arab Emirates, Macau,

Nicaragua, Turkey, Peru, Morocco, Ghana, Bolivia, Guyana, Mongolia, Zimbabwe, Gambia, Nigeria, Bangladesh,
Indonesia, Tunisia, Qatar, Oman, Mauritius, and New Caledonia, Guniea, Suriname, and Fiji Islands.
(9) Carriers shall comply with the "No Special Concessions" rule, Section 63.14, 47 C.F.R. § 63.14.
(10) Carriers regulated as dominant for the provision of a particular communications service on a particular route for any
reason other than a foreign carrier affiliation under Section 63.10 of the rules shall file tariffs pursuant to Section 203 of
the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 203, and Part 61 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. Part 61.  Except
as specified in Section 20.15 with respect to commercial mobile radio service providers, carriers regulated as
non-dominant, as defined in Section 61.3, and providing detariffed international services pursuant to Section 61.19 must
comply with all applicable public disclosure and maintenance of information requirements in Sections 42.10 and 42.11.
These non-dominant carriers may continue filing new or revised international tariffs for mass market services until
January 28, 2002, when all tariffs, with limited exceptions, must be cancelled.  Carriers may not file any new or revised
contract tariffs or tariffs for other long-term international service arrangements. See 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review,
Policy and Rules Concerning the International, Interexchange Marketplace, FCC 01-93, released March 20, 2001, 66 Fed.
Reg. 16874 (Mar. 28, 2001).
(11) Carriers shall file the annual reports of overseas telecommunications traffic required by Section 43.61(a). Carriers shall
also file the quarterly reports required by Section 43.61 in the circumstances specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of that
Section.
(12) Carriers shall file annual reports of circuit status and/or circuit additions in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Rules for Filing of International Circuit Status Reports, CC Docket No. 93-157, Report and Order, 10 FCC Rcd 8605
(1995). See 47 C.F.R. §§ 43.82, 63.23(e). These requirements apply to facilities-based carriers and private line resellers,
respectively.  See also:  http:www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html
(13) Carriers should consult Section 63.19 of the rules when contemplating a discontinuance, reduction or impairment of
service. Further, the grant of these applications shall not be construed to include authorization for the transmission of
money in connection with the services the applicants have been given authority to provide. The transmission of money
is not considered to be a common carrier service.
(14) If any carrier is reselling service obtained pursuant to a contract with another carrier,  the services obtained by
contract shall be made generally available by the underlying carrier to similarly situated customers at the same terms,
conditions and rates.  47 U.S.C.  § 203.
(15) To the extent the applicant is, or is affiliated with, an incumbent independent local exchange carrier, as those terms
are defined in Section 64.1902 of the rules, it shall provide the authorized services in compliance with the requirements of
Section 64.1903. See Regulatory Treatment of LEC Provision of Interexchange Services Originating in the LEC's Local
Exchange Area and Policy and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace, Second Report and Order in
CC Docket No. 96-149 and Third Report and Order in CC Docket No. 96-61, 12 FCC Rcd 15756, recon., 12 FCC Rcd 8730
(1997), Order, 13 FCC Rcd 6427 (Com. Car. Bur. 1998), further recon., FCC 99-103 (rel. June 30, 1999).
(16) Except as otherwise ordered by the Commission, a carrier authorized here to provide facilities-based service that (i) is
classified as dominant under Section 63.10 of the rules for the provision of such service on a particular route and (ii) is
affiliated with a carrier that collects settlement payments for terminating U.S. international switched traffic at the foreign
end of that route may not provide facilities-based service on that route unless the current rates the affiliate charges U.S.
international carrier to terminate traffic are at or below the Commission's relevant benchmark adopted in International
