Date of Action: 11/10/2009
PPC 1 Limited and PPC 1 (US), Inc. (collectively, Applicants) seek authority to modify the cable landing license for the PPC 1 cable system,
SCL-LIC-20080213-00001, which connects Sydney, Australia, Piti, Guam and Mandag, Papua New Guinea.  The PPC 1 System consists of two
segments of digital fiber-optic cable: (1) the Australia-Guam Trunk, connecting Sydney, Australia with Piti, Guam; and (2) the PNG Spur,
connecting Madang, Papua New Guinea with a branching unit located on the Australia-Guam Trunk.
PPC 1 Limited has entered into an agreement to sell the PNG Spur to Telikom PNG Limited, which already owns the landing station in Madang.
Applicants state that PPC 1 Limited and its affiliates will no longer have any ownership interest in the PNG Spur.  PPC 1 (US), Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PPC 1 Limited, will continue to own and operate the shore-end and wet-link portions of the Australia-Guam trunk in
the United States, including in U.S. territorial waters. PIPE International (Australia) Pty. Ltd., the parent company of PPC 1 Limited, will continue
to own and operate the wet-link and shore-end portions of the Australia-Guam Trunk in Australia, including in Australian territorial waters, and
will own the cable station at Cromer, New South Wales. PPC 1 Limited will continue to own and operate the wet-link portions of the
Australia-Guam Trunk outside the territorial waters of the United States and Australia and the branching unit on the Australia-Guam Trunk.
The cable landing license for the PPC 1 cable system, SCL-LIC-20080213-00001, is hereby modified such that the description of the cable system
will reflect that Telikom PNG will own the PNG spur as well as the landing station in Madang.

2009, and October 31, 2009.  As a result of a series of transactions that took place on October 10, 2009, and October 31, 2009, AAA
Communications Private Limited (AAACPL), an indirect controlling parent of Reliance Globalcom, reduced its interest in Reliance
Communications Limited (RCOM), the direct controlling parent of Reliance Globalcom, such that AAACPL's interest in RCOM decreased from
54.16% to approximately 39.15%.  As a result, AAACPL has a less than 50% direct interest in RCOM, but it still has de facto control of RCOM
and through RCOM has control of Reliance Globalcom.  AAACPL, RCOM, and Reliance Globalcom remain under the ultimate control of Anil
