Telecommunications Services Between the United States and Cuba

On January 22, 1999, the Commission approved the application of Sprint Communications Company, L.P. (Sprint) to acquire and operate additional satellite facilities for provision of service between the United States and Cuba. This authorization includes upgrade of an existing private line circuit. Sprint is currently authorized by the Commission to provide service directly to Cuba. The Commission has authorized Sprint to provide service between the United States and Cuba in accordance with the provisions of the Cuban Democracy Act. This will allow Sprint to help meet the large demand for direct telecommunications services between the United States and Cuba. Under the guidelines established by the Department of State, Sprint is to submit reports indicating the numbers of circuits activated by facility, on or before June 30, and December 31 of each year, and on the one-year anniversary of this notification in the Federal Register.
