[Licensee Information]{.underline}: PCI Communications, Inc. ("PCI") is
a Guam corporation that provides domestic and international long
distance and Internet access services to residential and commercial
customers in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
PCI holds minority interests in the cable landing licenses for the TPC-5
Cable System, China-US Cable System and the Guam-Philippines Cable
System. PCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Startec Global
Communications Corporation, Debtor-in-Possession ("Startec Parent"), a
Delaware corporation.

This application was filed in connection with the proposed emergence of
Startec Parent's emergence out of bankruptcy and to avoid PCI having to
be placed into liquidation as well. After consummation of the proposed
transaction, Guam Cable Group, Inc. ("Guam Cable"), a corporation
organized under the laws of Delaware, will own and control all of PCI's
Network Assets.[^1]

Guam Cable will operate as a joint venture of Startec Global Operating
Company**,** Debtor-in-Possession ("Startec Operating"), a Delaware
corporation that itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Startec Parent,
and EC Communications, LLC ("ECC"), a limited liability company
organized under the laws of Guam. Upon closing, Startec Operating and
ECC will each own 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Guam Cable. ECC will assume certain of the liabilities from PCI, and
Guam Cable will assume the remainder.

ECC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of E.C. Development, LLP, a Guam
limited liability partnership. E.C. Development, LLP is owned and
controlled by partners Edward M. Calvo, Eduardo A. Calvo, and John T.
Calvo, all U.S. citizens.

[Interlocking Directorates]{.underline}: Guam Cable states that it has
no interlocking directorate with a foreign carrier.

[Regulatory Status of Cable]{.underline}: The TPC-5 Cable System
operates on a common carrier basis. The China-US and Guam-Philippines
Systems operate on a non-common carrier basis. *See* File Nos.
