BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF IDAHO
In the Matter of the Application of
CommPartners, LLC for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity
to Provide Facilities-Based and Resale Local
Exchange and Interexchange Services in Eligible Areas)Statewide tl/jO.;o Lj-(J,
APPLICATION OF COMMP ARTNERS, LLC FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY
Pursuant to Idaho Code ~ 62-615 , Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission
rules and regulations, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CommPartners, LLC
CommPartners" or "Applicant"), hereby seeks, a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity ("CPCN") for authority to operate as a provider of facilities-based and resale local
exchange telecommunications services in eligible interconnection areas in Idaho, specifically,
Qwest and Verizon incumbent local exchange areas, as well as authority to offer interexchange
interLA T A and intraLA T A services statewide. In support of its Application, CommPartners
provides the following information:
Proposed Services
CommPartners, LLC is in the process of building a state-of-the-art, proprietary Internet
Protocol-based ("IP") communications network for the provision of voice and data services with
presence in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The network is designed to connect public
and private IP networks with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and will extend
into an estimated 8 500 local telephone rate centers representing a majority of the U.
population when complete, estimated to be by late 2005. Applicant will provide the network
needed for VolP providers to originate and terminate IP-based communications, as well as allow
for the termination of traditional circuit-switched telephone calls. The traffic to be carried over
this network will be comprised of primarily information services traffic such as V olP, as well as
interstate, intrastate interLA T A, intraLA T A, and local traffic.
As one example, Applicant's affiliate CP Network Services, will use Applicant's network
to carry its VolP traffic. In addition, CP Network Services will bundle this network management
with other needed services such as billing, provisioning, and customer support to provide a
hosted VolP application. This application will then be sold on a turn-key, unbranded basis to
allow many different types of companies to market VolP services. Among these wholesale
customers will be: data integrators, Internet service providers, other VolP providers, competitive
local exchange carriers, long distance carriers, cable companies, and fiber to the home
developers.
CP Network Services will offer these wholesale customers a comprehensive, affordable
product suite with minimal investment requirements and low adoption risk. Applicant will also
offer use of its network to other VolP providers. Many of these providers are currently leasing
networks in a piecemeal fashion and with limited geographical reach. Applicant will offer better
services, at cheaper prices, and with greater geographical scope than is currently available.
Essentially then, Applicant will serve as the network carrier and facilities management provider
for its affiliate s wholesale customers, as well as for other VolP providers' wholesale and retail
customers.
Although most of the traffic carried over Applicant's network will be VolP and subject to
federal regulation, 1 Applicant acknowledges that the underlying network will be subject to
regulation. In addition, this network will be created by entering into interconnection agreements
with incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILECs ) and connecting those ILEC networks to
Applicant's points of presence in Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York. Services
provided within Idaho will be routed through Applicant's network operations center located in
Las Vegas, Nevada. In the event that the state chooses to regulate part or all VolP services
provided to retail end users, Applicant will tariff those services accordingly and comply with all
state rules and regulations applying thereto.
I As a result of the FCC's recent decision in "Vonage Petition for Preemption from an Order of the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission." Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 04-267, released November 9 2004.
Only in rare occasions will Applicant will be engaged in providing basic circuit-switched
telephony. Applicant will maintain compliance with its duly filed tariffs for these services.

III. Telecommunication Service
1. The date on which applicant proposes to begin construction or anticipates it
will begin to provide service.
Immediately upon approval of this application.
2. A written description of customer classes and customer service that the
applicant proposes to offer to the public.
Applicant will primarily be providing network transit and associated operations support
systems for VolP traffic to wholesale customers.
IV. Service Territory
1. A description sufficient for determining whether service is to be offered in a
particular location; and the names of all incumbent local exchange corporations
with whom the proposed utility is likely to compete.
Applicant will be providing services in all areas served by incumbent local exchange
carriers that are required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to interconnect their networks
with competitive local exchange carriers. In Idaho, that will include areas serviced by
incumbents Qwest and Verizon.
2. Written description of the intended manner of service, for example, resold
services or facilities based. A general description of the property owned or
controlled by applicant.
All services provided by Applicant will be facilities-based. These facilities will use
existing structures and as such will not result in any environmental damage. To begin
operations, Applicant initially installed one softswitch device at each of its switch centers located
in Las Vegas, Chicago New York and Atlanta.These switch centers are connected to
Applicant's network operations center in Las Vegas. The total cost of these softswitches was
approximately $2.5 million. This will be sufficient to establish the national reach of Applicant's
network. CommPartners expects to deploy additional softswitches as traffic volume increases in
specific geographic areas. These additional investments are expected to incrementally reduce
transport costs as the switches are placed closer to end-users ' traffic.
3. A statement describing with whom the applicant is likely to compete.
Applicant will compete with all providers of traditional telecommunications services
including incumbent local exchange carriers, competitive local exchange carriers , and long
distance carriers. Applicant will also compete with nascent voiceN olP offerings of cable
companIes.
4. A description of the property owned by the applicant clarifies the applicant's
proposed services and operation.
CommPartners network is a "hub-centric topology consisting of CommPartners
switching centers located in Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta and New York. These switch centers
are collocation points situated in highly sophisticated environments where large numbers of
network providers meet for interconnection among their networks.At these locations
CommPartners has placed softswitch equipment, routers and border control devices.
CommPartners has entered into a one-year, renewable contract with Internap, a managed
Internet aggregation company, to manage CommPartners' VolP traffic that originates with non-
dedicated broadband access. With the use of Internap s infrastructure connected independently
at each of CommPartners' switching centers , CommPartners' data traffic is one step away from
the strong majority of major Internet backbone carrier in the country. VolP traffic initiated from
end-users on CommPartners' network is carried from the Internet to CommPartners' nearest
switch center in a prioritized fashion by Internap. Internap provides 100% up-time service level
agreements and routes packets across the Internet in the least congested configuration available.
With Internap s management of CommPartners ' non-dedicated broadband access VolP traffic
we seek to minimize time delays and quality erosion associated with moving IP traffic across the
public Internet.
CommPartners' system is designed to route calls originating on CommPartners ' network
to the nearest switch site and transport them to the receiving party in the most efficient manner
possible. Each of CommPartners' switching centers is connected to the PSTN by traditional
voice transport circuits which we lease from telecommunications carriers. CommPartners' switch
sites are interconnected by high capacity fiber links leased from telecommunications carriers
creating a controlled, high quality VolP backbone providing favorable economics for the
movement ofVolP calls across the US.
As CommPartners becomes approved as a competitive carrier in each state
CommPartners will lease traditional voice transport from each of CommPartners' switch sites to
access tandem switch centers owned and operated by the incumbent local exchange carrier in
each state. After CommPartners has access to these tandems, VolP traffic can be terminated
through the tandem to the local rate center (a local calling office owned and operated by the
incumbent carrier), to other CLECs and to wireless carriers for delivery to the receiving party.
CommPartners believes that security and quality of service are critical factors to
CommPartners success. Thus, CommPartners has integrated border control devices into each of
CommPartners' switch sites. These devices function as VolP firewalls to protect the integrity of
CommPartners' network from hackers.The combination of border control devices with
managed Internet routing is designed to yield maximum protection from unlawful intruders while
providing a quality of service for VolP traffic comparable to traditional telephone calls.
The actual call flow within CommPartners' network is summarized as follows: an end-
user initiates the call as a data transmission. The call flows from the end-user s broadband
provider to CommPartners' nearest switch and is then routed to CommPartners ' switch that is
closest to the called party. At the switch site nearest the called party, CommPartners determines
whether the called party is also a VolP user or a user of traditional voice services. If the called
party is a VolP user CommPartners terminates the call as a data transmission over their
broadband connection and never accesses the PSTN. However, if the called party is a traditional
voice user, CommPartners converts the call into a traditional voice protocol and sends the call to
the nearest RBOC/ILEC/CLEC or wireless carrier s local telephone switch that serves the called
party.
CommPartners' network approach and design delivers superior capabilities , achieves the
same geographic coverage and leverages the burgeoning market opportunity for a fraction of the
infrastructure capital investment required of traditional voice networks. The structure of
CommPartners ' network also allows solutions for two pressing issues for the offering of VolP
CALEA and emergency 911 services.CommPartners has contracted with a noted
telecommunications solutions provider to develop a 911 application for V olP. This partner
currently provides 911 functionality to approximately 400/0 of the cellular market. Thi solution
should be available in early 2005. In the meantime CommPartners will utilize standard
E911 systems to provide emergency services to its wholesale customers.
V. Financial Information
1. Current detailed balance sheets, including a detailed income and profit and loss
statements of applicant reflecting current and prior year balances for the twelve
months ended as of the date of the balance sheet, or if not readily available, for
the period since the close of the preceding calendar year.
CommPartners enjoys significant access to capital. Applicant was initially funded in
September 2003 with $3 million to begin rolling out its operations. Applicant has drawn $1.
million from this start-up funding for its initial operations. CommPartners has the financial
backing of multiple sophisticated funding operations including Circle F Ventures and investor
Maurice Gallagher. Applicant is already financially strong and independent. Applicant will
close a private placement offering shares to the public that will earn Applicant an additional $10
million in funding. With this funding in place, Applicant's business plan will be fully funded to

TARIFF FORMAT
Page Numbering - Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are
numbered sequentially. However, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a
new page is added between pages already in effect, a decimal is added.
Page Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of
each page. These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file
with the Commission. For example, the 4th revised Page 14 cancels the Original Page
14. Because of the various suspension periods and deferrals the Commission follows in
its tariff approval process, the most current page number on file with the Commission is
not always the tariff page in effect. Consult the check sheet for the page currently in
effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each
level of coding is subservient to its next higher level:
2.1
1.1
1.1.A
1.1.A.
2. 1. LA. 1. (a)
(a).I
(a).I.(i)
(a).I.(i).(1 )
Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission an updated check sheet
accompanies the filing. The check sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a
cross reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check
sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are
designated by an asterisk (*). There shall be no other symbols used on this page if these
are the only changes made to it. The tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to
find out if a particular page is the most current on file with the Commission.
