Investment Funds Investment Funds Overseas Private Investment Corporation Investment Funds Program The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) Investment Funds Program is designed to support the creation and capitalization of long-term, private equity funds in emerging markets. The funds are structured as limited partnerships or limited lia- bility companies. They are managed by private sector fund managers and, like all OPIC programs, are self-sustaining. OPIC receives compensation for its support, calibrated to reflect the risk and reward represented by its investment. These OPIC-supported funds invest in the development, expansion, or privatization of businesses and meet the sizable unmet demand for risk capital. OPIC is one of the largest providers of emerging market private equity. Since the inception of the investment funds program in 1987, OPIC has committed over $2 billion to 35 private equity funds. These funds have invested in more than 350 new, expanding, or priva- tizing businesses -- approximately 90 percent of which are small- and medium-sized enterprises. For many of the investors in these funds, OPIC's unique role in using its guaranty authority to support capitalization was a key criterion in their investment decision. As a result, OPIC's participation has mobilized substantial capital and skills for investment in emerging markets. The Investment Funds Program helps to fulfill OPIC's mission to mobilize and facil- itate the participation of U.S. private capital and skills in the economic and social growth of less developed countries. Specifically, the funds program: ·Brings to the countries in which it invests modern business practices, improved cor- porate governance, improvements to the local regulatory and legal environments, and improved property and shareholder rights. ·Fosters the development of capital and financial markets in emerging markets. ·Helps achieve U.S. foreign policy objectives, such as promoting political and eco- nomic stability in emerging democracies through the development of the private sector and privatization of state-owned businesses, and promoting best practices in corporate governance, the environment, and worker rights. ·Encourages the development of new markets and opportunities for American com- panies, facilitating early access to new consumers and improving competitiveness Photos courtesy of : in the developing world. Carulla Vivero ·Strengthens economic growth at home through connections that may be estab- Celtel lished between U.S. companies and the businesses supported overseas, such as Euro Cement joint ventures, franchising, supply or distribution arrangements.

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Broadband Industry Practices, WC Docket No. 07-52 Dear Ms. Dortch: On April 21, on behalf of Vuze, Inc. (“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others.
