Section 214(a) of the Act prohibits any carrier from constructing, extending, acquiring, or operating any line, and from engaging in transmission through any such line, without first obtaining a certificate of authorization from the Commission.4 While the Commission has granted “blanket” section 214 authority to carriers providing domestic service,5 meaning that such carriers need not apply to the Commission before providing domestic service, the Commission has not done the same for providers of international telecommunications services.6 Section 63.18 of the Rules requires any carrier that seeks section 214 authority “for provision of common carrier communication services between the United States, its territories or possessions, and a foreign point” to request such authority by application.7 The application requirement applies to carriers that provide facilities-based service or that resell the service of another authorized carrier.8 4 47 U.S.C. § 214(a). 5 47 CFR § 63.01(a) (“Any party that would be a domestic interstate communications common carrier is authorized to provide domestic, interstate services to any domestic point and to construct or operate any domestic transmission line as long as it obtains all necessary authorizations from the Commission for use of radio frequencies.”). 6 See Implementation of Section 402(b)(2)(A) of the Telecomm. Act of 1996, Report and Order in CC Docket No. 97-11, Second Memorandum Opinion & Order in AAD File No. 98-43, 14 FCC Rcd 11364, para. 2 & n.8 (1999) (grant of blanket authority is only for domestic service and does not extend to international service). 7 47 CFR § 63.18. 8 Id. § 63.18(e)(1)–(2). 2 Federal Communications Commission DA 26-229 4. Factual Background. YMM is a privately held Delaware corporation that was incorporated on July 25, 2018. YMM is a mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) that began providing resold international common carrier communications services on November 11, 2024. According to YMM, the Company later discovered that it did not obtain the requisite international section 214 authorization before providing international common carrier services. YMM states that it believed it was authorized to rely on the authorizations held by YMM’s wholesale carrier partner to provide YMM’s resold MVNO service. Upon discovering the need to obtain its own international section 214 authorization, the Company filed its requests for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to continue providing international common carrier services and the requisite international section 214 authorization. YMM’s STA request was granted on May 21, 2025.9 The Office of International Affairs granted a subsequent STA request on December 23, 2025.10 5. To settle this matter, the Parties enter into this Consent Decree and agree to the following terms and conditions. III. TERMS OF AGREEMENT 6. Adopting Order.

In consideration for the termination of the Investigation, YMM agrees to the terms, conditions, and procedures contained herein. The Bureau further agrees that, in the absence of new material evidence, it will not use the facts developed in the Investigation through the Effective Date, or the existence of this Consent Decree, to institute any new proceeding on its own motion against YMM concerning the matters that were the subject of the Investigation, or to set for hearing the question of YMM’s basic qualifications to be a Commission licensee or hold Commission licenses or authorizations based on the matters that were the subject of the Investigation.11 10.
