Convenience and Necessity to resell basic local exchange service within the State of Idaho. The
Commission issued a Notice of Application and Modified Procedure on September 25 , 2003.
Order No. 29338. In comments filed October 16, 2003 , Staff recommended denial of the
Application due to AltiComm s troubled financial condition. Although AltiComm expects to
receive an influx of venture capital in the short term, on November 4, 2003 , the Company
requested leave to withdraw its Application without prejudice. AltiComm indicated that it plans
to refile its Application as soon as the funding has been finalized and received.At the
Commission s November 13, 2003 decision meeting, Staff recommended the Commission
approve the Company s request to withdraw its Application and that Case No. GNR-03-06 be
closed.
Based on these facts, the Commission finds it reasonable to dismiss AltiComm, Inc.
Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity without prejudice.
