         Re:      Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc.
                  Registration Statement on Form S-1/A


Members of the Commission:

We transmit for filing Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1/A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On behalf of the Registrant, I respectfully request acceleration of the
effective date to 9:00am on February 11, 2005, or as soon thereafter as
possible. An acceleration request on behalf of the principal underwriter is
filed separately. In connection with this request for acceleration, the
Registrant acknowledges the following:

       o  should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
          authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
          Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

       o  the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
          delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
          relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy
          and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

       o  the Registrant may not assert this action as a defense in any
          proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
          securities laws of the United States.

You may direct any questions regarding this filing to the undersigned at (212)
972-2000.

Very truly yours,

/S/ Matthew D. Rosen
