SUBJECT: CASE NO. CBS-T-10-01
CREXENDO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC.’S APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY

On June 11, 2010, Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc. filed an Application for a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide resold and facilities-based/UNE local
exchange telecommunications services in the State. Crexendo currently has no office located in
the State of Idaho. Crexendo is incorporated in the State of Arizona and is authorized to do
business as a foreign corporation in the State of Idaho.
On June 30, 2010, the Commission issued a Notice of Application and Notice of
Modified Procedure to establish a comment period and process for Crexendo’s Application.
Staff filed written comments on July 21, 2010.
Crexendo intends to provide resold local exchange services and to purchase
unbundled network elements provided by existing incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) in
Idaho. Crexendo seeks authority to provide all forms of intrastate local exchange and
interexchange telecommunications services. Crexendo provided an illustrative tariff with its
Application providing terms and conditions for its proposed services.
Crexendo states that it will not require advanced payments or deposits and seeks a
waiver of the Commission’s requirement for an escrow account for those payments. The
Company also explicitly states that it has reviewed the “laws and regulations” of this
Commission and agrees to comply with them.

DECISION MEMORANDUM 2
Staff recommends that Crexendo Business Solutions, Inc. be granted a CPCN subject
to the following conditions:
(a) The Company agrees to comply with the Number Pool Administrator and
Idaho Commission Order No. 30425, which requires NRUF and
Utilization reporting;

(b) As a provider of local exchange services and in accordance with the
Commission’s Rules of Procedure, Crexendo will report and contribute as
appropriate to the Idaho Universal Service Fund, Idaho
Telecommunications Relay System, ITSAP and to comply with all
reporting requirements that may be deemed appropriate in the future for
competitive telecommunication providers;

(c) Prior to issuance of the Certificate, Crexendo shall file a completed and
final price list with all its rates, terms and conditions with the
Commission;

(d) Crexendo will relinquish its Certificate and all telephone numbers if,
within one year of issuance of a CPCN, the Company is not offering local
exchange telecommunications services in Idaho.

COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission approve Crexendo’s Application for a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity?
