                          MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

   Adopted: September 18, 2009 Released: September 22, 2009

   By the Chief, Spectrum Enforcement Division, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we cancel a proposed forfeiture
       in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) issued to WorldNet,
       L.L.C. ("WorldNet"). On April 3, 2009, the Enforcement Bureau's
       Spectrum Enforcement Division ("Division") issued to WorldNet a Notice
       of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Order ("NAL") based on
       WorldNet's apparent willful failure to respond to a Letter of Inquiry
       ("LOI") that was issued by the Division.

    2. Upon review of the record, and based on information provided by
       WorldNet in its response to the NAL, including sworn declarations from
       two WorldNet employees, we find that the record is insufficient to
       support a finding of a willful violation. Accordingly, we conclude
       that the NAL should be cancelled.

    3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
       Act, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules, the April
       3, 2009 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Order issued
       to WorldNet, L.L.C. IS CANCELLED.

    4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by First
       Class Mail and by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Ms. Debra
       R. Schmidt, Director of Telephony Services, WorldNet, L.L.C., 1
       Riverfront Plaza, Suite 301, Lawrence KS 66044, and to Edward
       Yorkgitis, Esq., Counsel for WorldNet, L.L.C., Kelley Drye & Warren
       LLP, 3050 K Street, N.W., Suite 400, Washington D.C. 20007.
