Re: Voluntary Certification Withdrawal by Comtel Telcom Assets LP d//a Excel
Telecommunications, VarTec Telecom, Clear Choice Communications and VarTec
Solutions and Notice of Asset Sale Closing
Dear Sir or Madam:
Comtel Telcom Assets LP d//a Excel Telecommunications, VarTec Telecom, Clear Choice
Communications and VarTec Solutions ("Comtel") hereby voluntarily withdraws its operating authorities
to provide local exchange and interexchange telecommunications services within your state. By way of
background for this request, Comtel entered into an asset purchase agreement ("AP A") with Matrix
Telecom, Inc. ("Matrx") to sell substantially all of its assets, including customers, to Matrx. The
purchase and sale was ultimately consummated on July 31, 2010.
Following the consummation of the purchase and sale, Comtel no longer has an employee base,
customers or other telecommunications operations in any jurisdiction. The existing customers and the
associated operations were transferred to Matrix which has now stepped into Comtel's shoes to allow for
a seamless transition as far as the end-user customers are concerned. An of the affected customers have
been provided notice in compliance with the rules of this Commission and Federal Communications
Commission, and where required, the paries have obtained the approvals of the Federal Communications
Commssion and State Commssions. Without impacting Matrx's operating authority, customers and/or
ongoing operations, Comtel respectfully requests that your office take any steps necessary to immediately
withdraw any remaining operating authority and tariffs/price lists on fie for corporate entities of Comtel.
As previously referenced, Matrx is now servng the customers acquired from Comtel and assumes
responsibility for the price lists on file.
Comtel sincerely appreciates your service and assistance over the years and now seek your
prompt attention to this necessary request. Please direct any inquiries regarding the ongoing operations of
Matrix to Leslie Ellis at leslie.ellis(gexcel.com or at [phone]. Acknowledgment and date of
receipt of this filing are respectfully requested. Please date and file stamp the attached copy of this
correspondence and return it in the enclosed pre-addressed, postage- prepaid envelope.
spectfully submitted,
~\D'
J 0 than Dennis
Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and
Secretary
Comtel Assets Inc., General Parter of
Comtel Te1com Assets LP
