BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF MITEL CLOUD SERVICES,)INC.'S REQUESTFOR CANCELLATION OF )CASE NO.ITN-T-09-01
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND )
NECESSITY NO.499 )ORDER NO.34414
On July 31,2019,Mitel Cloud Services,Inc.(Mitel)requested that its Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN or Certificate)No.499 be cancelled.In its Decision
Meeting on August 13,2019,the Commission addressed Mitel's request to cancel Certificate No.
499.
COMMISSION FINDINGS
In January 2010,the Commission issued Order No.30995 granting Mitel a CPCN to
provide competitive local exchange telecommunications service within the State of Idaho.
Certificate No.499 was issued to Mitel.
On March 20,2015,Mitel notified the Commission that it had changed the name under
which it did business from Mitel NetSolutions,Inc.to Mitel Cloud Services,Inc.In April 2015,
the Commission amended Certificate No.499 to reflect the name change.Order No.33263.
On July 31,2019,the Commission received a letter asking that Mitel be allowed to
cancel Certificate No.499.Mitel stated that its services have continued to evolve since its CPCN
was granted,and that "it services its customers through VoIP and a variety of nomadic
interconnected services as well as private business communication and collaboration solutions."
In short,Mitel asserts that it no longer offers local exchange service to its customers.See Order
No.32059;Idaho Code §§62-603(13)and 62-604(1)(a).Mitel states that Certificate No.499 is
no longer necessary for it to do business in Idaho.
Staff reviewed the request and agreed with Mitel that its certificate should be cancelled.
We find that the service offerings of Mitel are outside this Commission's authority and do not
require a CPCN.
Consequently,we cancel Certificate No.499 and direct Staff to remove Mitel's tariff
on file.
ORDER NO.34414 1
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Mitel's request for cancellation of CPCN No.499 is
