                address of the device used to receive the service), and the gross
                receipts from all services with respect to the business recipient are
                in the aggregate less than $50,000 for the renderer's taxable year, the
                operations of the business recipient that benefit from the service

                paragraph (d)(3)(i) of this section, only 10 percent of the benefits of

                will benefit from FC's services are located within the United States,
                persons located within the United States are treated as paying $10x
                ($100x x 0.10) for FC's services for purposes of applying the test in
                paragraph (d)(2)(ii) of this section.
