AND NECESSITY NO. 346 TO REFLECT THAT)
ECLIPSE COMMUNICATIONS CORP. HAS

CASE NO. GNR-97-
ORDER NO. 29211
On March 17, 2003 , Western Wireless Corporation filed a request to amend Eclipse
Communications' Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 346 to reflect the
Company s name change to Western CLEC Corp. This Certificate was issued to Eclipse
Communications on September 10 1998. See Order No. 27536, Case No. GNR-97-24.
Eclipse Communications is a subsidiary of Western Wireless. Western Wireless
represents that Eclipse does not currently provide service to customers in the State of Idaho and
does not generate revenue or have facilities in the State.Furthermore, Western Wireless
contends that as of January 20, 2000, Eclipse notified the Commission in writing regarding the
change of its name to Western CLEC Corp. Since that time Eclipse s regulatory fee and gross
operating revenues report have been completed and submitted to the Commission under the
name Western CLEC Corp.
Western Wireless now requests that the Commission allow its subsidiary, Eclipse
Communications to amend its Certificate No. 346 to reflect its name change to Western CLEC
Corp. Western Wireless represents that this name change does not reflect a transfer or change in
control, ownership or assets and is a change in name only of its subsidiary.
Based on our review of the Application, we find that it is reasonable to amend the
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 346 to reflect the change in name from
Eclipse Communications Corp. to Western CLEC Corp. The Commission also finds it
reasonable to perform this administrative function without initiating a public hearing.
ORDER NO. 29211
