BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION
AS A COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER
VERIZON AVENUE CORP.
Proposed Services
Verizon Avenue Corp. ("Verizon Avenue
, "
Applicant", or the "Company ) requests
Certification as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier in the State of Idaho. Verizon
Avenue proposes to offer local, local toll, and interLA T A toll services by resale in
Idaho, outside of the franchised service territories ofVerizon. The Company also
intends to serve as an Internet Service Provider, making High Speed Internet Service
available within its market niche throughout the State. Verizon Avenue intends to
concentrate its marketing and sales efforts within the residential market, and within
the multiple dwelling unit and concentrated residential market niche. The Company
currently is certified to provide services of this nature in twenty-six states and the
District of Columbia.
II.Form of Business
Applicant is a Corporation
(1) Verizon Avenue Corp. is a Delaware Corporation, engaged in the
provision of communications services.
(2) Verizon Avenue Corp. is incorporated in the State of Delaware.
(3) Verizon Avenue Corp. does not currently have a business office
location within the State ofIdaho. Its headquarters address is:
Verizon Avenue Corp.
Two Conway Park
150 Field Drive, Suite 300
Lake Forest, IL 60045
(4) A certified copy of the Articles of Incorporation ofVerizon
Avenue Corp. is attached to this application as Exhibit 1.
(5) Copies of the Certificate of Authority ofVerizon Avenue Corp.
and ofthe Statement of Good Standing ofVerizon Avenue
Corp., both issued by the Idaho Secretary of State, are attached to
this application as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively.
(6) The Registered Agent for Service in the State ofIdaho is:
CT Corporation System
300 N. 6th Street
Boise, ill 83702
2. The names and addresses of the ten common stockholders of Applicant
owning the greatest number of shares of common stock are:
Verizon Avenue Corp. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary ofVerizon
Communications Inc. The corporate address ofVerizon Communications
Inc. is:
1095 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
3. The names and addresses of the Officers and Directors ofVerizon
Avenue Corp. are attached to this application as Exhibit 4.
4. The name and address ofthe Corporation holding a 5% or greater interest
in Verizon Avenue is as follows:
Verizon Communications Inc.
1095 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
5. The names and addresses of subsidiaries owned or controlled by Applicant
are attached to this application as Exhibit 5.
III.Telecommunications Service
Verizon Avenue proposes to begin offering High Speed Internet
Service within the State of Idaho within one year after certification by
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Company will be prepared
to offer telephone services by resale within one year following
Certification.
Verizon Avenue proposes to offer local exchange telephone service and
local toll service by resale of service obtained from existing Local
Exchange Carriers, other than Verizon Northwest, Inc. ("Verizon
The Company intends to offer interLA T A service by resale of services
obtained from any authorized Interexchange Carrier in the State. The
Company proposes to offer High Speed Internet Service throughout the
State, utilizing an on-premises DSL Access Module (DSLAM)
solution. In the event that the Company must utilize sub-loop
Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) to reach the end user customer
from the DSLAM location, Verizon Avenue must obtain an
Interconnection Agreement with the local exchange carrier.
IV.Service Territory
Verizon Avenue potentially may compete for local exchange telephone
services customers with any local exchange carrier in the State of
Idaho, with the exception ofVerizon. The Company does not intend to
offer competitive local exchange, local toll or interLATA toll telephone
services within the franchised territory ofVerizon in the State.
Applicant does intend to potentially offer its High Speed Internet
Service throughout the State, including within the franchised service
territory ofVerizon. Verizon Avenue concentrates its marketing
activities within multiple dwelling unit residential complexes such as
apartment complexes and condominium developments, and within
other concentrated residential areas such as military and tribal
reservations.
Verizon Avenue intends to offer its telephone services by resale
obtaining such services from incumbent local exchange carriers under
such agreements and tariffs as are appropriate. The Company will seek
Interconnection Agreements with local exchange carriers, in order to
obtain access where necessary to sub-loop UNEs to provide its High
Speed Internet Service to end users. Within the franchised service area
ofVerizon within the State, Verizon Avenue will serve as a sales agent
of Verizon for provision of regulated local telephone services. The
Company will also serve as a sales agent in such Verizon territory for
interLA T A services and internet services provided by Verizon Long
Distance and Verizon On Line respectively.
Depending upon the geographical location, Verizon Avenue is likely to
compete with the local exchange carrier and with all authorized
Competitive Local Exchange Carriers serving the area. Within the
franchised Verizon territory in the State, the Company will provide
competition for High Speed Internet Service providers in those areas of
such territory where such service is not available due to Verizon
Central Office distance constraints.
Verizon Avenue currently owns no equipment in the State ofIdaho.
The intent is to offer telephone services by resale. Broadband lines to
serve the Company DSLAM locations will be obtained under contract
tariff or other arrangement with any of the providers of such service in
the State. Sub-loop UNEs will be obtained under Interconnection
Agreements approved by the Commission. The Company will own any
DSLAM equipment installed in the State.

VIII.
IX.
Interconnection Agreements
Verizon Avenue Corp. requested the beginning of Interconnection Agreement
negotiations with Verizon Communications related to the State of Idaho on
August 6, 2003. The Company has not yet initiated such discussions with
other carriers serving the State. Verizon Avenue understands that any such
Interconnection Agreement reached with any carrier does not take effect until
grant of this requested Certification by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
and approval of any such Interconnection Agreement by the Commission.
Compliance with Commission Rules
Verizon Avenue Corp. has reviewed the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
rules and those rules codified under Title 62 of the Idaho Code. The
Company recognizes that it is bound by those rules applying to Competitive
Local Exchange Carriers doing business in the State, and agrees to comply
with those rules. The Company does not, at this time, seek waiver of any of
the rules applying to Competitive Local Exchange Carriers duly certificated
by the authority of the Commission.
Escrow Account or Security Bond.
Verizon Avenue at this time does not intend to request advance deposits by its
customers of regulated telephone services. The Company does understand
and acknowledges, that should it decide to obtain advance deposits from such
customers, the Company must establish an escrow account or security bond in
an amount sufficient to meet customer deposit refunds in the case of company
default. Should the Company decide to obtain customer deposits, Verizon
Avenue Corp. will so inform the Commission, will obtain the required bond
and will submit copies of such a bond or escrow account document to the
Commission.
