Liquidating Trust ("Leap"). SCN is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by SCN UK, a privately-held corporation formed under the laws of England and Wales. SmartCall and iSmart are limited liability companies organized under the laws of Delaware. Petitioners filed this petition in connection with several related applications for consent to (1) transfer control of iSmart's PCS spectrum leases to SCN UK (see ULS File No. 0004007920 for WPUR878 (Bozeman, MT) and WPSJ976 (Butte, MT); and ULS File No. 0004012065 for WPOK576 (Bozeman, MT)); and (2) to assign to iSmart, contemporaneously with its transfer of control to SCN UK, the PCS license for WPOK576, which is held currently by Leap (see ULS File No. 0003989856). Petitioners also request that any ruling granted under this petition take into account the future assignment to iSmart of the underlying licenses for WPUR878 and WPSJ97, which are held currently by NTCH, Inc. According to the Petitioners, the following foreign individuals and entities own five percent or more of the shares of SCN-UK: Mr. George Robinson (12.34%) (United Kingdom); Mr. James Tagg (6.49%) (United Kingdom); Eden One LP (12.56%) (United Kingdom); Independent News and Media Investments Ltd. (9.79%)(United Kingdom); Wellington Partners III Technology Fund, L.P. (8.02%) (Channel Islands); Burda Digital Ventures GmbH (7.24%) (Germany); ESQ VentureA Inc. (5.00%) (British Virgin Islands). The Petitioners assert that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign ownership of iSmart in excess of the 25 percent benchmark of section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act is consistent with the public interest. Petition for Declaratory Ruling Software Cellular Network Ltd. ITC-214-20091201-00520 E Global or Limited Global Resale ServiceService(s): Application for authority to provide resale service in accordance with section 63.18(e)(2) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.18(e)(2). International Telecommunications Certificate Alrus Telecom Inc. ITC-MOD-20091027-00557 P Global Crossing Limited (GCL) on behalf of its subsidiaries - Budget Call Long Distance, Inc.; Global Crossing Americas Solutions, Inc.; Global Crossing Bandwidth, Inc.; Global Crossing North American Networks, Inc.; Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc; International Optical Network, L.L.C.; and Racal Telecommunications Inc. (collectively, "GCL affiliates") - requests, pursuant to section 63.13 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.13, that the Commission reclassify the GCL subsidiaries as non-dominant on the U.S.-Indonesia route. The GCL subsidiaries were classified as dominant on the U.S.-Indonesia route under section 63.10 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10, because they were affiliated with PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation (PT Indosat), a foreign carrier presumed to have market power on the foreign-end of the route, through their parent company Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd (ST Telemedia). GCL states that in 2008 ST Telemedia sold its interest in PT Indosat and thus GCL and its subsidiaries are no longer affiliated with a foreign carrier with market power on the U.S.-Indonesia route. (GCL states that GCL and its affiliates are affiliated with Telekomuniksi Selular, but that Telekomuniksi Selular does not have market power in Indonesia.) GCL submits that its affiliates are therefore entitled to a presumption of non-dominance in their provision of service on the U.S.-Indonesia route. Interested parties may file comments on or before January 25, 2010, and reply comments on or before February 1, 2010. Modification Global Crossing Ltd. Page 2 of 2
