INTERNATIONAL BUREAU REPORT 2006 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data February 2008 Cathy Hsu Policy Division 1 2006 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data Introduction This report contains information on U.S.-international facilities-based common carriers’ circuits as of year-end 2006 that was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) by U.S. common carriers pursuant to section 43.82 of the Commission’s rules. 1 In addition to the 2006 data, for comparison purposes, this report includes data from previous reports covering 2003 through 2005. Section 43.82 of the Commission’s rules directs U.S.-international facilities-based common carriers to file an international circuit status report by March 31 each year for circuits used to provide international services as of December 31 of the preceding year. The detailed filing requirements are set forth in the Manual for Filing Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data, which is available on the Commission’s Web site at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html. This report presents the Commission staff review and analysis of the information provided to the Commission by the carriers. 2 The aggregated information in this report summarizes for public use information that the Commission collects for regulatory purposes. This information also serves as a database for determining and monitoring the payments that the Commission is required to collect (i.e., annual regulatory fees on active 64 Kbps-equivalent international circuits). Reporting Requirements All U.S.-international facilities-based common carriers are required to file circuit status information showing both activated (in-service) and idle (available but not in-service) capacity. Although units of circuit capacity have increased to E-1 3 and STM-1 4 levels, all services are reported in 64 Kbps- equivalent circuits, the minimum measurable unit. The Commission uses this measurement to accommodate carriers that have low traffic volume and therefore cannot report by large capacity units with respect to any particular country. International facilities-based circuits are “international circuits in which a carrier has an ownership interest that includes outright ownership, indefeasible right of use (IRU) interests, or leasehold interest in capacity in an international facility, regardless of whether the underlying facility is a common or non-common carrier submarine cable or an INTELSAT or other satellite 1 47 C.F.R. § 43.82. 2 Commission staff reviews the carriers’ submissions for accuracy and completion. In some circumstances, carriers filed revised data based on requests for clarification from the staff. 3 1 E-1 = 30 64 Kbps circuits. 4 1 STM-1 = 1,890 64 Kbps circuits. 2 system.” 5 Data Presentation The services covered by this report include International Message Telephone Service (IMTS) (switched voice), International Private Line Service (IPLS) (including voice and data) and Miscellaneous or Other International Services (including data services and video services, other than private line service). The aggregated data listed in this report reflects all of the submitted information, including information from carriers who asked for confidential treatment. This report uses the following regional codes outlined in the International Points Report: 6 Region Code Western Europe 1 Africa 2 Middle East 3 Caribbean 4 North and Central America 5 South America 6 Asia 7 Oceania 8 Eastern Europe 9 International Water Area 10 This report is organized as follows: Table 1 lists the 95 carriers that filed circuit status reports. Of these, 87 carriers filed and reported active or idle capacity in 2006. The remaining 8 carriers did not report any active or idle capacity in 2006. Tables 2 through 5 present data from 2003 through 2006 7 for different categories of transmission 5 Filing Manual, available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html; see also 47 C.F.R. § 63.09(a). 6 U.S. domestic points are the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Foreign points include foreign destinations as well as ships operating in international waters. Offshore U.S. points include U.S. territories such as American Samoa, Guam, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Navassa Island, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island. See Wireline Competition Bureau Industry Analysis and Technology Division report titled International Points Used for FCC Reporting Purposes (International Points Report), available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html. 3 facilities: Table 2 (data on undersea cable circuits); Table 3 (data on satellite circuits); Table 4 (data on terrestrial circuits); 8 and Table 5 (data on combined transmission circuits: IMTS, Private Lines, and Other International Services, as well as the percentage of circuits by service type for each region, from 2003 to 2006). These tables include information organized by service type for 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 data. ¾ Table 2 shows that undersea cable circuits accounted for 85.6 percent of the overall active transmission capacity in 2006. ¾ Table 3 shows that international satellite circuits continued to decrease and only accounted for 0.2 percent of overall transmission capacity. ¾ Table 4 shows that terrestrial links accounted for 14.2 percent of active circuit capacity in 2006. ¾ Table 5 shows that for 2006, IMTS circuits accounted for 10 percent of the total active capacity. The combined growth rate for Private Line and “Other” (data) services was 27 percent in 2006. ¾ Table 6 shows the top 30 destinations by circuits. In 2006, the top 30 destinations accounted for 97 percent of the total U.S.-activated circuits at year-end 2006, with the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan, and Mexico as the top five destinations. New Zealand replaced the Dominican Republic in Table 6 in 2006. Supplementary Data Table 7 lists all operational and planned new trans-oceanic fiber optic cables, both common carrier and non-common carrier cables, in 64 Kbps units from 1995 to 2009, as derived from cable landing license applications and updated capacity information from cable operators. 9 In 2006, the combined cable capacity (activated and idle 64 Kbps circuits) reported by U.S. carriers for the trans-Atlantic region was 7,413,362 circuits (regions 1, 2, 3 and 9), a 28 percent increase from the 5,785,370 circuits reported in 2005. Those accounted for 12.2 percent of the total available cable capacity, an increase from 10.9 percent in 2005. In the Americas region (regions 4, 5, and 6), the activated and idle cable capacity accounted for 25.7 percent of the total available cable capacity, an increase from 24.4 percent in 2005. In the trans-Pacific region (regions 7 and 8), the reported activated and idle cable capacity accounted for 12.5 percent of the total available cable capacity, a slight increase from 12.2 percent in 2005. The reported activated circuits as a 7 Although this report excludes 1995-2002 data, that information is available in our previous reports, which are available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/csmanual.html. 8 Terrestrial circuits include circuits carried both by microwave facilities and by terrestrial cables. Terrestrial circuits do not include circuits carried by undersea cables. 9 See Table 7, page 32-33. We updated these cables based on the new information provided by the cable operators: AC-1, MAC, SAC, Japan-U.S. Cable Network, and TGN Pacific. 4 percentage of total available circuits for the three regions (i.e., trans-Atlantic, Americas, and trans-Pacific regions) are also included in Table 7. Overall, the total reported activated circuits accounted for 7.1 percent of total available capacity worldwide. As indicated in our previous reports, cable capacity reported pursuant to Section 43.82 (activated and idle circuits) likely understates the actual amount of capacity that is in use. 10 This year’s data shows a pattern that is similar to previous years: the overall reported cable capacity accounted for 13.8 percent of the total available cable capacity (common carrier and non- common carrier cables). Similarly, the satellite data likely understates the actual amount of capacity in use because many private satellite operators market their capacity directly to end-users and thus are not subject to our reporting requirements. 11 In 2007, we received several new cable applications, two in the Americas region (CFX-1 Cable System and Gemini Bermuda System), and four in the trans-Pacific region (Trans-Pacific Express Cable System (TPE), FLAG NGN (Pacific) System, Sydney-Hawaii Cable System, and Asia America Gateway Consortium (AAG)). The tables in this report include information from these cable applications. 12 10 In our previous reports, we identified three reasons for the discrepancy between reported capacity (activated plus idle circuits) and available capacity. First, foreign carriers hold significant amounts of U.S.-international cable capacity and are not required to report their capacity under section 43.82 unless they use their capacity for the provision of U.S. international service. Second, for any new cable system, a substantial amount of capacity that is actually activated or idle may be underreported, particularly in the year in which many new cables come on-line or old cables are upgraded. Third, there are a number of non-common carrier cables, and much of the capacity on those cables is sold to end-users, including Internet Service providers (ISPs), foreign carriers, and foreign ISPs. Under those circumstances, neither cable owners nor cable users are required to report capacities. 11 U.S. satellite available capacity is calculated differently than available total U.S. cable capacity. Due to the flexible nature of satellite coverage, each satellite can cover various countries and can be available to all those countries within its footprint. Therefore, it is difficult to calculate the fixed amount of capacity that can be allocated to any given country for any specific time frame. On the other hand, the location of fiber optic cables is fixed because they are deployed only to their planned cable stations, making it possible to calculate the total available cable capacity on a particular route for any given time frame. 12 As the planned trans-Pacific cables have very large capacity, we expect the trans-Pacific capacity to increase to five times its 2006 level once these cables come on-line in 2008.

To avoid double counting, a carrier is required to report its initial facility used for each international point traffic; therefore, this table reports as "terrestrial" some circuits between the United States and countries that are not actually reached by terrestrial links (through microwave or terrestrial cables) from the United States.
