RE: Amendment to the Local Interconnection Agreement between CenturyTel ofthe
Gem State, Inc. and 360networks (USA) inc. (Order No. 30463, Case No~_c6S -
T-07-02)
Dear Mrs. Jewell:
CenturTel of the Gem State, Inc. ("CentuyTel") hereby submits for approval by the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Cômmission") the enclosed Amendment to the
Interconnection and Traffc Exchange Agreement ("Amendment") between CenturyTel
and 360networks (USA) inc. ("360networks"). The Amendment provides for directory
listing service and was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to
mediation or arbitration and is submitted for approval pursuant to Section 252(e) ofthe
Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("the
Act") and the requirements ofIdaho Administrative Code, 31.42.01, Rule 408.
Section 252(e)(2) of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an agreement
reached through voluntar negotiations only ifthe Commission finds that
· the agreement (or portion thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications
carer not a party to the agreement, or
· the implementation of such agreement or portion is not consistent with the public
interest, convenience and necessity.
CenturTel respectfully submits that the Amendment provides no basis for either ofthese
findings, and therefore requests that the Commission approve the Agreement
Mrs. J ean Jewell
June 25, 2008
Page 2
expeditiously. First, the Amendment does not discriminate against any other
telecommunications carrer because CentuyTel has made the terms of the Amendment
available to other carrers. Second, the Amendment is consistent with the public interest
as identified in the pro-competitive policies of the State of Idaho, the Commission, the
U.S.
Congress and the Federal Communications Commission. The Amendment wil enable
the local connection to provide service to, and interconnect with, a greater number of
telecommunications customers in Idaho. Expeditious approval of this Amendment wil
facilitate immediate competition in the telecommunications market.
CenturTel fuher requests that the Commission approve this Amendment without a
hearng and without allowing the intervention of other paries. Because this Amendment
was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise issues requiring a hearng
and does not concern other paries not a par of the negotiations. Expeditious approval
would fuher the public interest.
Enclosed are an original and seven copies of this filing as specified in IDAP A
31.01.01(061)(01 )(c).
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me per the information
included above.
Very truly yours,~~s
