Notification filed March 6, 2017, of the pro forma assignment of international section 214 authorization, ITC-214-20100512-00191, held by
Cable & Wireless Communications, Inc.  (CWCI) to CWC New Cayman Limited, effective December 17, 2015.  The assignment is the first step
of a two-step transaction transferring control of ITC-214-20100512-00191 from Cable & Wireless Communications plc (C&W) to Liberty Global
plc.  See ITC-T/C-20151130-00291.
CWCI is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of C&W.  CWC New Cayman, a newly incorporated Cayman Island entity, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CWC New Cayman Holdco Limited (CWC New Cayman Holdco), a newly incorporated Cayman Island holding company.  CWC
New Cayman Holdco is owned by shareholders holding a majority of the shares of C&W and consequently C&W majority shareholders have de
jure control of CWC New Cayman and CWC New Cayman Holdco.  Thus C&W majority shareholders retain ultimate control of
ITC-214-20100512-00191 now held by CWC New Cayman.

USConnect Holdings, Inc. (USConnect) requests that the Commission modify its international 214 authorization, ITC-214-20000310-00140, to
remove the condition requiring compliance with the May 18, 2005 letter outlining the commitments made by Eastern Kansas Holdings, Inc. to the
Department of Justice (DOJ), including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS,
collectively with DOJ and FBI, the Executive Branch agencies) (2005 Letter).  See ITC-ASG-20050405-00140.  USConnect Holdings states that
it has since acquired the underlying authorization, see ITC-ASG-20130927-00269.  On March 19, 2017, DHS, with the concurrence of DOJ,
including the FBI, filed a letter stating that the Executive Branch agencies have no objection to the removal of the condition.  We therefore
remove the condition from ITC-214-20000310-00140 that USConnect comply with the 2005 Letter.

controlled by Avista GP and Avista III GP, currently controls more than 50 percent of WOW Finance and its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the terms of a Unit Purchase Agreement (Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2015, the Crestview investment entities purchased a
minority, non-controlling number of units from certain existing unitholders of Racecar Holdings and from Racecar Holdings, totaling
approximately 35 percent of the equity of Racecar Holdings and, in connection therewith, the Crestview entities have three out of nine board seats

ninth board member).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the entities controlled by Crestview will acquire additional units from Racecar
Holdings and certain of its unitholders so that ultimately Crestview holds approximately 50 percent ownership interest in Racecar Holdings.
Avista and Crestview will each be able to elect four out of nine board members, and the CEO of Racecar Holdings will be a board member.  In
addition, Crestview will acquire negative consent rights with respect to the hiring, firing or entering into employment agreements with senior
management of Racecar Holdings.
Knology is a subsidiary of WOW Finance, which is in turn an indirect subsidiary of Racecar Holdings.  Through intervening entities, Racecar
Holdings is ultimately owned by Avista which will hold an indirect 45 percent equity interest in Racecar Holdings after the proposed transaction

Partners III, L.P., but as the managers of the Crestview private equity funds, they will exercise 100 percent control over the overall Crestview
investment in Racecar Holdings.  Barry S. Volpert, a U.S. citizen, will hold an indirect ownership interest of more than 10 percent but less than 35
percent in Racecar Holding, through Volpert Investors, L.P., a Delaware entity that is a limited partner in Crestview Partners III GP and a member

and the general partner of Avista Capital Partners III GP (Avista III GP), a Delaware limited partnership.  Avista, through the funds and
investment vehicles controlled by Avista GP and Avista III GP, currently controls more than 50 percent of WOW Finance and its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the terms of a Unit Purchase Agreement (Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2015, the Crestview investment entities purchased a
minority, non-controlling number of units from certain existing unitholders of Racecar Holdings and from Racecar Holdings, totaling
approximately 35 percent of the equity of Racecar Holdings and, in connection therewith, the Crestview entities have three out of nine board seats
of Racecar Holdings (with Avista having the right to nominate five out of nine board seats and the chief executive officer (CEO) acting as the
ninth board member).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the entities controlled by Crestview will acquire additional units from Racecar
Holdings and certain of its unitholders so that ultimately Crestview holds approximately 50 percent ownership interest in Racecar Holdings.
Avista and Crestview will each be able to elect four out of nine board members, and the CEO of Racecar Holdings will be a board member.   In
addition, Crestview will acquire negative consent rights with respect to the hiring, firing or entering into employment agreements with senior
management of Racecar Holdings.
Sigecom is a subsidiary of WOW Finance, which is in turn an indirect subsidiary of Racecar Holdings.  Through intervening entities, Racecar
Holdings is ultimately owned by Avista which will hold an indirect 45 percent equity interest in Racecar Holdings after the proposed transaction
is consummated.  Avista is owned by four voting members, each with one vote: Thompson Dean, Steven Webster, David Burgstahler, and David
Durkin, all U.S. citizens.
Three Crestview entities have made and will make further direct investments in Racecar Holdings, and will hold up to the following ownership
interests in Racecar Holdings: Crestview WI Holdings, L.P. (Crestview Holdings) (approximate 24%), Crestview WI Co-Investors, LLC
(Crestview WI Co-Investors) (approximate 24%), and Crestview W1 TE Holdings, LLC (approximate 1%), all Delaware entities that are
ultimately controlled by Crestview Partners III GP, L.P. a Cayman Islands entity, which is in turn held by Crestview.
The following Crestview entities hold direct or indirect ownership interests in Racecar Holdings: Crestview Partners III Co-Investors, L.P., a
Cayman Islands entity, holds direct limited partnership interests in Crestview Holdings and directly owns the sole member interest in Crestview
W1 GP, LLC, a Delaware entity that is the sole general partner of, and holds no ownership interest in, Crestview Holdings; Crestview III W1,
L.P., a Delaware entity, holds direct limited partnership interest (99.8%) in Crestview Partners III Co-Investors, L.P.; Crestview Partners III, L.P.,

member of Crestview III W1 GP, LLC, a Delaware entity that is the sole general partner of, and holds no ownership interest in, Crestview III W1,
L.P.  Crestview Partners III GP, L.P. is the general partner of Crestview Partners III, L.P., and Crestview is the general partner of Crestview
Partners III GP, L.P.  Neither Crestview Partners III GP, L.P. nor Crestview will have a ten percent or greater ownership interest in Crestview
Partners III, L.P., but as the managers of the Crestview private equity funds, they will exercise 100 percent control over the overall Crestview
investment in Racecar Holdings.  Barry S. Volpert, a U.S. citizen, will hold an indirect ownership interest of more than 10 percent but less than 35
percent in Racecar Holding, through Volpert Investors, L.P., a Delaware entity that is a limited partner in Crestview Partners III GP and a member
