On October 5, 2016, Fremont Telcom Co. notified the Commission that the Company
has changed its brand name to Fremont Telcom Co. dba Blackfoot. The Company provides
resold and facilities-based basic local exchange service within parts of Idaho under Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity No. 333. The Company has asked the Commission to update
the CPCN to reflect the Company's new name. With this Order, we grant the Company's
request.
BACKGROUND
In late 1997, the Commission authorized Fremont Telcom Co. to provide resold and
facilities-based basic local exchange services within parts of Idaho under Certificate No. 333.

The Company has now notified the Commission that it has changed its brand name to
Fremont Telcom Co. dba Blackfoot. The Company also filed a copy of the Certificate of
Assumed Business Name with the Idaho Secretary of State's office. Staff has reviewed this
documentation and recommended that the Commission amend Certificate No. 333 to reflect the
name change to Fremont Telcom Co. dba Blackfoot.
FINDINGS
Based on our review of the Company's filing and Staff's recommendation, the
Commission finds it appropriate to amend Certificate No. 333 to reflect that the Company has
changed its brand name to Fremont Telcom Co. dba Blackfoot.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Certificate No. 333 is amended to reflect that the
Certificate holder's name is Fremont Telcom Co. dba Blackfoot.
