SUBJECT: INTELEPEER, INC. APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY, CASE NO. IPI-T-09-01
On December 17, 2009, IntelePeer, Inc. filed an Application for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to provide facilities-based and resold local exchange
and access telecommunications services in the State of Idaho. The Application states that the
Company intends to provide basic local exchange services, custom calling features, and
interexchange toll services (including toll free services) to business and residential customers.
The Company intends to offer service in the areas served by Qwest and does not plan
to provide service in areas of any small or rural local exchange carriers. Its Application states
that the Company initially intends to provide toll services through the Company’s underlying
long-distance carrier. However, the Company seeks authority to provide the full range of resold
and facilities-based local exchange and interexchange services so that it retains flexibility in
providing its services in the future.
The Company asserts that its expertise in telecommunications will permit it to select
the most economical and efficient services, thereby providing customers with an excellent
combination of price, quality, and customer service. The Company states that it possesses the
requisite financial, managerial, and technical capacities to provide the proposed services.
IntelePeer is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and authorized to transact
business as a foreign corporation in Idaho.
