uncontested application, filed pursuant to Section 214 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED that
the present and future public convenience and necessity require a
grant thereof.

          2.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that application File No.
I-T-C-94-112 IS GRANTED IN PART, and GeoComm Corporation (GeoComm)
is authorized to lease and operate up to two DS-3 equivalent

non-interconnected international private line services between the
United States and Mexico. 

          3.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the request by GeoComm to
provide facilities-based private line services between the United
States and Mexico is hereby deferred.

          4    IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that neither GeoComm nor any
persons or companies directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by  GeoComm, or under direct or indirect common control
with it, shall acquire or enjoy any right, for the purposes of
handling or interchanging traffic to or from the United States, its
territories or possessions, which is denied to any other United
States carrier by reason of any concession, contract,
understanding, or working arrangement to which GeoComm or any
persons or companies controlling or controlled by GeoComm are
parties.

GeoComm to provide private lines as part of its authorized services
is limited to the provision of such private lines only between the
United States and Mexico -- that is, private lines which originate
in the United States and terminate in  Mexico or which originate in 
Mexico and terminate in the United States.  In addition, GeoComm
may not -- and GeoComm's tariff must state that its customers may
not -- connect private lines provided over these facilities to the
public switched network at either the U.S. or foreign end, or both,
for the provision of international basic telecommunications
services, including switched voice services, unless authorized to

61, for the services authorized in this Order.

          8.    IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the applicant shall file
the annual reports of overseas telecommunications traffic required
by Section 43.61 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. 43.61.
