                                    Washington, D.C. 20554


In the Matter of

KDD AMERICA, INC.

Application for Authority Under                                  File No. ITC—214—2000_
Section 214 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as Amended, for Transfer of
Control to DDI Corporation


                          APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF CONTROL

            KDD America, Inc. ("KDDA") and DDI Corporation ("DDI") (collectively, the

"Applicants") hereby request authority for transfer of control of the Section 214 authorizations of

KDDA to DDI, pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended

("Communications Act"), 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Section 63.18 of the rules of the Federal

Communications Commission ("FCC"or "Commission"), 47 C.F.R. §63.18.‘

         As discussed below, the proposed transfer of control is part of a three—way merger among

DDI, KDD Corporation ("KDD"), the parent company of KDDA, and IDO Corporation ("IDO").

Approval of the transfer will permit KDDA and DDI to realize significant revenue enhancements

and operating synergies that will enhance their ability to continue providing high quality, low

cost telecommunications services and to compete more effectively in the international

telecommunications marketplace. Accordingly, grant of this Application will serve the public

interest.




‘ Applicants also are filing contemporaneously herewith an application seeking Commission consent to the transfer
of control of a cable landing license held by KDDA as well as a notification of foreign carrier affiliation pursuant to
Section 63.11 of the Commission‘s rules.


        KDDA currently qualifies for a presumption of nondominance under Section 63.10(a)(3)

of the Commission‘s rules, on all routes except to Japan. As a result of the transfer of control,

KDDA will acquire additional affiliations with DDI‘s foreign carrier affiliates in Brazil,

Paraguay, and Australia. All of DDI‘s affiliates, however, lack sufficient market power to affect

competition adversely in the U.S. market. Therefore, KDDA will continue to qualify for a

presumption of nondomifiance on the Brazil, Paraguay and Australia routes.

        A DDI—wholly owned subsidiary, DDI Communications America Corporation

("DDICA") also holds a Section 214 authorization to provide global facilities—based and resale

services." Following the merger, DDICA will be affiliated with KDD, a foreign carrier and

parent company of KDDA. However, as noted in the foreign affiliation notification being filed

concurrently, DDICA will accept dominant carrier classification on the U.S.—Japan route without

prejudice to its right to petition for reclassification at a later date. Japan, the destination country

where KDDA is affiliated with a foreign carrier, is a World Trade Organization ("WTO")

member country. Accordingly, the Applicants respectfully request that the Commission apply

streamlined processing to consideration of this applicationpursuant to Section 63.12 ofthe

Commuission‘s rules.

        In support of this Application, the Applicants submit the information provided below.

I.      The Applicants

        A.      KDDA

        KDDA is a New York corporation providing both facilities—based and resold international

telecommunications services to customers in the United States. KDDA is a wholly owned

subsidiary of KDD, a provider of international telecommunications services in Japan.




* See FCC Public Notice, ITC—214—19990722—00453, 1999 FCC LEXIS 4059 (Aug. 26, 1999).


       B.         DDI


       DDI is a Japanese corporation providing primarily domestic long distance telephone

service in Japan. DDI also providesinternational telephone service, leased circuit service, and

data services such as Internet access and frame relay. Through various subsidiaries, DDI offers

cellular service and personal handyphone service ("PHS," or service for telephones that function

as cordless units at home and mobile units elsewhere).


       C          IDO


       Although not a party to this application, IDO is a party to the three—way merger with DDI

and KDD. IDO is a Japanese corporation providing cellular service in metropolitan and Tokai

areas of Japan.


II.    The Proposed Transaction Will Serve the Public Interest

       On April 5, 2000, KDD, the ultimate corporate parent of KDDA, IDO Corporation

("IDO"), and DDI executed a Merger Agreement ("Agreement"), whereby each share of DDI

will be issuedto the shareholders of KDD in exchange for 92.1 shares of KDD and each share of

DDI will be issued to the shareholders of IDO in exchange for 2.9 shares of IDO. Upon

consummation of the proposed transaction, DDI will own all of the issued and outstanding stock

of KDD, which in turn will own all of the issued and outstanding stock of KDDA. DDI also will

own all of the issued and outstanding stock of IDO.

       The proposed merger will provide additional competition to NTT, Japan‘s largest

telecommunications company, and permit the merged company to offer seamless mobile,

domestic, and international telecommunications services in Japan. The proposed merger also

will enhance operating efficiencies and competitiveness, thus enabling the merged company to

offer world class services and aggressively expand marketing operations to capture the support


of a broad customer base ranging from individuals to mega—companies bothin Japan and abroad.

The proposed merger will enable DDI, KDD, and IDO to respond effectively to the changing

Japanese telecommunications market, which is witnessing a rapid shift from voice to data

communications and from fixed to mobile communications. In particular, DDI, KDD, and IDO

will be able to pool their skills and resources to develop and expand an integrated IP backbone,

provide a seamless nationwide mobile telephone service, and become a leading player in

developing next—generation mobile communications services.

       The proposed transaction will serve the public interest in promoting competition in the

United States by permitting KDDAand DDI to compete more effectively through combining

their financial resources and complementary services, facilities, and expertise. Specifically, the

proposed merger will permit KDDA and DDI to realize significant economic, marketing, and

technical service efficiencies that will enhance KDDA‘s ability to provide high—quality, low—cost,

competitive telecommunications services. KDDA and DDI also will benefit significantly from

the substantial managerial, technical, and financial expertise of the combined company‘s

management and operations teams. The combined company will offer a full range of services

and will provide increased choice to consumers for competitively priced international

telecommunications. By enhancing operating efficiencies and expanding their scope of business,

KDDA and DDI will be able to offer world—class services and aggressively expand marketing

operations to capture the support of a broad customer base ranging from individuals to mega—

companies both in the United States and abroad.

       Moreover, the proposed transaction will accelerate competition in both the U.S. domestic

and international markets without any perceptible increase in market concentration. KDDA

provides long distance services to customers in the United States. On the other hand, DDI


provides primarily domestic long distance services in Japan, while IDO provides cellular service

in Japan. Consequently, the proposed merger will enhance competition, increase consumer

choices, and stimulate service and technological innovations without causing increased

concentration in any U.S. market segment.

DDI currently does not have any other interlocking directorate with another foreign carrier.

        (i)     By Paragraph (1) of the attached certification, DDI certifies that it is a foreign

carrier authorizedin Japan to provide telecommunications services. In addition, DDI is affiliated

with various foreign carriers in Japan, Brazil, Paraguay, and Australia, as identified in Exhibit B.

        (j)    By Paragraph (2) ofthe attached certification, DDI certifies that, upon acquisition

of KDD and KDDA, DDI (through KDDA) will provide international telecommunications

services to Japan, where DDIis a foreign carrier in that country and will control KDD, another

foreign carrier in Japan. DDI further certifies that, upon acquisition of KDD and KDDA, DDI

(through KDDA), will provide international telecommunications services to Brazil, Paraguay,

and Australia, where DDI has an affiliation with a foreign carrier, as described in Section

63.18(7) of the Commission‘s rules.

        (k)    Japan, Brazil, Paraguay, and Australia are WTO member countries.

       (1)     Following the merger, KDDA will continue to accept dominant carrier regulation

on the U.S.—Japan route and file the quarterly traffic reports required by Section 43.61(c) of the

Commuission‘s rules, without prejudice to the Applicants‘ right to petition for reclassification at a

later date. DDICA will also accept dominant carrier regulation on the U.S.—Japan route and file

the quarterly traffic reports required by Section 43.61(c) of the commission‘s rules, without

prejudice to DDICA s right to petition for reclassification at a later date. On routes where

KDDA will be affiliated with a foreign carrier —— Brazil, Paraguay, and Australia —— the affiliated

foreign carrier satisfies the requirements of Section 63.10(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules.


Specifically each such affiliated foreign carrier holds significantly less than a 50 percent market

share in the international transport and local access markets in its respective country of

operation. None of these carriers has theability to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S.

international carriers through the control of bottleneck services or facilities in any destination

country. Accordingly, all such affiliated foreign carriers are presumed to lack sufficient market

power on the foreign end of their respective routes to affect competition adversely in the U.S.

market.

          (m)   As stated in subsection (1) above, KDDA qualifies for nondominant classification

on the U.S.—Brazil, U.S.—Paraguay, and U.S.—Australia routes pursuant to Section 63.10 of the

Commission‘s rules. In addition, following the merger, KDDA will continue to maintain, and

DDICA will accept, dominant carrier regulation on the U.S.—Japan route, without prejudice to the

Applicants‘ and DDICA‘s right to petition for reclassification at a later date.

          (n)   By Paragraph (3) of the attached certification, DDI certifies that it has not agreed

to accept special concessions, directly or indirectly from any foreign carrier with respect to any

U.S. international route where the foreign carrier possesses sufficient market power on the

foreign end of the route to affect competition adversely in the U.S. market or will enterinto such

agreements in the future.

       (0)      By Paragraph (4) of the attached certification, DDI certifies that no party to this

application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug

Abuse Act of 1988.

       (p)      The Applicants seek streamlined processing of this application under Section

63.12 of the FCC‘s Rules because after the proposed transfer of control, as to all routes except

the U.S.—Japan, U.S.—Brazil, U.S.—Paraguay, and U.S.—Australia routes, (1) KDDA will not be

affiliated with any foreign carrier in a destination market; (2) KDDA will not be affiliated with

     any dominant U.S. carrier whose international switched or private line services it seeks authority

     to resell; and (3) KDDA is not sceking authority to provide switched basic services over private

     lines to a country for which the FCC has not previously authorized the provision of switched

      services over private lines. With respect to the U S$.—Brazil, U.S.—Paraguay, and U.S.—Australia

      routes, where KDDA will become aliliated with a foreign carrier un the foreign end, KDDA

      qualifies for a presumption of nondominance under Section 63.10(a)(3) of the FCC‘s Rules, as

      stated in subsections (1) and (m) above. With respect to the U.S . —Japan route, where DDILCA will

      become affiliated with a foreign carrier (i.e., KDD) on the foreign end, Japan is a WTO member

      country and DDICAagrees to accept dotninant carrier classification, subject to the right to

      petition for reclassification at a later date.

      IV.     CONCLUSION

              Rased on the foregoing, Commission approval of the proposed transfer of control of

     KDDA to DDI will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity.
