SCL-AMD-20230725-00020 E Camelot Landing, LLC Amendment Grant of Authority Date of Action: 09/12/2023 Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc. (GCTI) has filed an amendment to its pending application for a new cable landing license to allow the continued operation of the Atlantic Crossing 1 (AC-1) submarine cable system for an additional 25-year term following the expiration of the current license on May 1, 2023. See Non-Streamlined Submarine Cable Landing License Applications Accepted for Filing, File No. SCL-LIC-20230222-00005, Public Notice, Report No. SCL-00416NS (OIA May 19, 2023). The amendment changes the applicant from GCTI to Camelot Landing, LLC (Camelot). GCTI recently undertook a pro forma assignment of its interests in the cable landing license for the AC-1 cable system to Camelot. See SCL-ASG-20230713-00018. GTCI, a Michigan corporation, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3 Communications, LLC (Level 3), and Camelot is a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3, both Delaware limited liability companies. GCTI, Camelot, and Level 3 are all indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Lumen Technologies, Inc. (Lumen), a Delaware corporation. The pro forma assignment was undertaken as part of an internal reorganization to facilitate the transfer of control of Lumen's indirect interests in the AC-1 cable system to Colt Technology Services Group Limited (Colt). An application seeking consent for that transaction is currently pending with the Commission. See Non-Streamlined Submarine Cable Landing License Applications Accepted for Filing, File No. SCL-T/C-20221123-00034, Public Notice, Report No. SCL-00403NS (IB Jan. 27, 2023).

Camelot is a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3. Camelot and Level 3 are both indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Lumen Technologies, Inc. (Lumen), all Delaware entities. The pro forma assignment was undertaken as part of an internal reorganization to facilitate the transfer of control of Lumen's indirect interests in the Yellow cable system to Colt Technology Services Group Limited (Colt). An application seeking consent for that transaction is currently pending with the Commission. See Non-Streamlined Submarine Cable Landing License Applications Accepted for Filing, File No. SCL-T/C-20221123-00034, Public Notice, Report No. SCL-00403NS (IB Jan. 27, 2023). Prior to the pro forma assignment of its cable landing license to Camelot, Level 3 owned 50% of the U.S. portion of the Yellow cable system and owned and operated the cable system's U.S. landing station in Bellport, New York. Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc. (GCTI), another wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3, owned the other 50% of the U.S. portion of the Yellow cable system. A notification regarding the pro forma assignment of the interests held by GCTI in the cable landing license for the Yellow cable system, as well as the Atlantic Crossing 1 (AC-1) submarine cable system, was also filed on July 13, 2023. See SCL-ASG-20230713-00018. The Yellow cable system is a non-common carrier submarine cable system connecting the United States and the United Kingdom. On November 2, 2022, Lumen and Colt entered into an exclusive arrangement for the proposed sale of Lumen's Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) telecommunications business to Colt for $1.8 billion (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement, Colt will purchase the equity and, where applicable, assets of Lumen's EMEA telecommunications companies. Colt will also acquire Lumen's U.S. undersea and landing station assets that comprise the Yellow cable system. To facilitate the sale of Lumen's EMEA business to Colt, on July 1, 2023, Level 3 assigned on a pro forma basis all of Yellow's U.S. assets-including the submarine cable landing license-to Camelot, which Lumen formed for this purpose. Upon securing required regulatory approvals, Lumen will transfer control of Camelot to Colt such that Camelot will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Colt. Camelot certifies it will accept and abide by the routine conditions specified at section 1.767(g) of the Commission's rules.
