RE: NETSOURCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.; REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION
STATEMENT ON FORM 8-A
Ladies and Gentleman:
Due to market reasons, NetSource Communications, Inc. (the "Registrant"),
yesterday revoked the acceleration request filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 10, 1996 with respect to the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, (File No. 333-14237) and the Registrant's
Form 8-A filed on October 15, 1996, and requested that such Registration
Statements be declared effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday,
December 16, 1996, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
However, since the Form 8-A Registration Statement would become effective
automatically, prior to that date, on December 15, 1996, the Registrant hereby
withdraws the Registrant's Form 8-A Registration Statement filed October 15,
1996. Under separate cover, the Registrant is filing a new Form 8-A Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
NETSOURCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
