STREAMLINED INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED FOR FILING
Unless otherwise specified, the following procedures apply to the applications listed below:
The international Section 214 applications listed below have been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for filing
and subject to the streamlined processing procedures set forth in Section 63.12 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §
63.12.  These applications are for authority under Section 214 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 214, (a) to transfer
control of an authorized carrier or to assign a carrier's existing authorization; and/or (b) to become a facilities-based
international common carrier; and/or (c) to become a resale-based international common carrier.
Pursuant to Section 63.12 of the rules, these Section 214 applications will be granted 14 days after the date of this public
notice (see 47 C.F.R. § 1.4 regarding computation of time), and the applicant may commence operations on the 15th day,
unless the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days after the date of this public notice, that the
application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing.
Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to
the Commission's rules for "permit-but-disclose proceedings."  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206.  An application can be removed
from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff.  The filing of comments or a petition to
deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing.
The petitions for declaratory ruling listed below are for authority under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, 47
U.S.C. § 310(b)(4), to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership benchmark applicable to common carrier radio licensees.
The requested rulings will be granted 14 days after the date of this public notice, effective the next day, unless the
application is formally opposed or the Commission has informed the applicant in writing, within 14 days of the date of this
public notice, that the application, on further examination, has been deemed ineligible for streamlined processing.  For this
purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14
days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal
opposition.
Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and
Information Center, located in room CY-A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.  The

Application for consent to transfer control of international section 214 authorizations, ITC-214-19970610-00320,
ITC-214-19970610-00321, ITC-214-19960610-00238, ITC-214-19960610-00241, ITC-214-19960610-00240, held by Telstra
Incorporated (Telstra USA), from the Commonwealth of Australia (the Commonwealth) to the shareholders of Telstra Corporation
Limited (Telstra).  Telstra USA is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Telstra, a publicly traded corporation organized under the laws
of Australia, a WTO Member country.  In the first part of a two part transaction, on November 24, 2006, the Commonwealth of
Australia (Commonwealth) sold approximately 30% of Telstra's issued shares, thereby decreasing its holdings in Telstra from 51.8% to
approximately 22% (or 17% if all overallotment options are exercised).  Although the Commonwealth lost de jure control of Telstra,
it continues to maintain de facto control over Telstra pursuant to certain provisions of the Telstra Corporation Act of 1991, as
amended.  (See ITC-T/C-20061218-00570, granted DA 06-2567, rel. Dec. 21, 2006)
In the second part of the transaction, the Commonwealth intends to transfer all of its remaining shares of Telstra (approximately 17
to 22%) to the Future Fund Board of Guardians (the Future Fund Board) by no later than February 24, 2007.  The Future Fund is a
Commonwealth investment fund and separate legal entity from the Commonwealth.  Upon closing of the transfer transaction the
Future Fund Board will hold 17 to 22% of Telstra shares (held in escrow for a mandatory two years, thereafter sold and proceeds
reinvested) and the other 83% will be widely held with  no other shareholder expected to hold 10 percent or more of the shares in
Telstra.  According to the Applicants, the Future Fund Board will not have any of the statutory rights of the Commonwealth related to
Telstra conveyed to it and will only have the rights and obligations of other Telstra shareholders, and thus will not have control of
Telstra or Telstra USA.
Telstra USA agrees to continue to be classified as a dominant carrier on the U.S. - Australia route pursuant to Section 63.10 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10.
Applicants further request that the Commission condition grant of this application on compliance with the provisions of a November
29, 2001 Agreement by and between Reach Ltd., Telstra Corporation Limited, and the Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited, on the
one hand, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice on the other hand (November 29, 2001
Agreement).  A copy of the November 29, 2001 Agreement is publicly available in the record of this proceeding and maybe viewed on
the FCC web-site through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) by searching for ITC-T/C-20061204-00541and accessing the
