RE: CASE NO. ELI-T-98-1; APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF ELECTRIC LIGHTWAVE, INC. FOR A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY
On April 23, 1998, Electric Lightwave, Inc. (ELI) filed an Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide local exchange service pursuant to Title 61, Idaho Code, to residential and business customers within U S WESTs and GTEs service areas, specifically within the counties of Ada, Canyon, Boise and Elmore. ELI intends to provide these services through a range of facilities-based and resold intrastate telecommunication services. On May 28, 1998, the Commission issued a Notice of Application and Notice of Modified Procedure to process ELIs Application. During the comment period, written comments were filed only by the Commission Staff. Staff noted that ELI has an interconnection agreement with U S WEST, which the Commission has already approved. Because ELI has met all of the filing requirements of the Commissions rules and in Procedural Order No. 26665, Staff recommends approval of ELIs Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.
Commission Decision
Should the Application of Electric Lightwave, Inc. for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity be approved?
