Adopted: August 22, 2011 Released: August 22, 2011
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Order, we adopt a Consent Decree entered into between the
Enforcement Bureau (the "Bureau"), STi Telecom Inc. ("STi"), and
Progress International, LLC ("Progress"). The Consent Decree
terminates an investigation by the Bureau against STi and Progress for
possible violations of sections of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act") and the Commission's Rules (the "Rules") regarding
a substantial transfer of control of international section 214
authority. Specifically, the Consent Decree terminates the Bureau's
investigation concerning section 214(a) of the Act and sections 63.18
and 63.24 of the Rules.
2. A copy of the Consent Decree negotiated by the Bureau, STi, and
Progress is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.
4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
conclude that the Bureau's investigation raises no substantial or
material questions of fact as to whether STi and Progress possess the
basic qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or
obtain a Commission license or authorization.
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the Act,
and sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's Rules, the Consent
Decree attached to this Order IS ADOPTED.
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS
TERMINATED.
