m. REQUEST FOR CANCELLATTON
In order to provide more effective billing and customer service support to the commercial
and enterprise customers that constitute API's former customer base, that customer base is now
served by API's affiliate, GC Pivotal. As a result, API no longer provides telecommunications
services in Idaho and therefore requests that the Commission cancel its Certificate and tariff(s).
GC Pivotal provides telecommunications services to API's customers pu$uant to GC
Pivotal's Certificate under the same rates, terms and conditions as the services previously provided
by API. API's customers received prior notice of the change in their provider. The change in
provider, therefore, was seamless to customers and the requested cancellation is merely an
administrative step. Further, the financial, technica[, and managerial resources ofCTT, combined
with the capabilities of GC Pivotal's telecommunications network will benefit the customer base
previously served by API, enhancing their billing and customer seryice experience and giving them
access to the network solutions available from GC Pivotal.
All revenues, customer lines and any associated assessments previously reported and
remitted by API will be reported and remitted by GC Pivotal. Further, to the extent that API had
any outstanding obligations, including deposits, to any customers, GC Pivotal is now responsible
for such obligations.
Since API no longer provides telecommunications services in Idaho, and GC Pivotal
provides telecommunications services to API's customers pursuant to the same rates, terms and
conditions ofservice, the cancellation ofAPI Certificate will serve the public interest. API,
therefore, requests that the Commission act on this request as soon as practicable.
