RE: THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF CUSTOMERS OF THE RURAL TELEPHONE COMPANY TO JOIN THE TREASURE VALLEY EXTENDED SERVICE CALLING AREA; IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF CUSTOMERS OF THE RURAL TELEPHONE COMPANY BOISE RIVER EXCHANGE TO JOIN THE U S WEST MOUNTAIN HOME EXCHANGE AND/OR THE TREASURE VALLEY EXTENDED SERVICE CALLING AREA; CASE NOS. GNR-T-97-9, GNR-T-98-18.
On August 20, 1999, the Commission issued Order No. 28114 granting petitions from Rural Telephone Company customers in Boise River, Tipanuk and Prairie requesting extended area service (EAS) into the U S WEST Treasure Valley EAS Region. In that order, the Commission ordered U S WEST and Rural to file their respective cut-over dates to the Commission by September 3, 1999. On September 3, 1999, the Commission received a letter from Rural requesting sixty (60) additional days within which to study when cut-over can occur. U S WEST has indicated to Staff that determining its cut-over dates is contingent on when Rural intends to cut-over and that, therefore, it cannot comply with the order either.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission grant Rural’s request and issue an order giving both Rural and U S WEST sixty (60) additional days within which to provide proposed cut-over dates.
COMMISSION DECISION
Should the Commission grant Rural’s request?
