RE: Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 Filed June 1, 2005 File No. 333-124206

Dear Mr. Rosen:

As we indicated in our previous letter, we have limited our review of your filing to consideration of your disclosure regarding the underwriting status of Karamco and related matters and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

Issuance of Securities to Selling Stockholders, page 13 1. Please revise to clearly state that you issued 1,439,643 shares of common stock to Karamco at the closing of the IPO. Similarly revise the description of the private placement appearing under the Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities section. 2. It appears that Karamco and Mr. Karam should have filed a Schedule 13D within 10 days after February 18, 2005 to report the acquisition of the 1,439,643 shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO. See Rule 13d-1(a) under the Exchange Act. While the staff recognizes that counsel for the company does not represent Karamco or Mr. Karam, please provide, or have counsel for Karamco or

Mr. Karam provide, a well-reasoned analysis as to why these parties were not required to file a Schedule 13D. Alternatively, please ensure that they file a Schedule 13D immediately on EDGAR.
