IV.Financial, Technical and Managerial Qualifications
Lightyear possesses the managerial, technical and fmancial ability to provide local telecommunications
service in the State of Idaho. Lightyear has sufficient financial resources to enable the company to
successfully provide local telecommunications service in the State ofIdaho.
IV.A. Financial Qualifications
(a)By utilizing its current customer service, operations, management, and technical workforce
and infrastructure supporting its facilities-based local exchange and interexchange operations
Lightyear is financially and otherwise capable and qualified to offer and maintain all of its
tariffed services in its territories served through its own and/or the underlying carrier
facilities.
(b)The costs ofIdaho operations will consist ofleasing UNE-P and additional administrative and
sales overhead. Lightyear is already operating as an interexchange carrier in Idaho and is
operating as a facilities-based local exchange service provider in many states. The incremental
administrative and sales costs are not projected to be significant for the company. No new
funds or capital will be required to expand the company s services in Idaho.
(c)Lightyear provides their financial statements as proof of its financial stability to provide the
required services within the State ofIdaho as Exhibit D.
IV.B. Managerial Qualifications

IV.Technical Qualifications
(a) Lightyear s services will satisfy the minimum standards established by the Commission. The
Company will file and maintain tariffs in the same manner and fonn as required of incumbent
local exchange telecommunications companies with which Lightyear seeks to compete.
(b)Lightyear recently acquired the assets of Lightyear Communications, Inc. ("LCI") which
asset transfer was approved by the Commission. The management team ofLCI remained in
place. LCI had been operating as a resale and/or facilities-based local exchange provider
since 1999 and as a long distance carrier since 1993, The LCI management team possesses
considerable telecommunications expertise. Based on LCI's experience and proven track
record, Lightyear is certainly technically qualified to provide local exchange service in Idaho

Service Description and Anticipated Service Date
Lightyear proposes to provide local exchange services via unbundled network element platfonns
(UNE-P). The company intends to offer service immediately upon certification, hopefully by early
third quarter 2004. The company will offer these services in conjunction with its interexchange toll
services, which include inbound and outbound interexchange telecommunications services. Lightyear
will also offer operator assisted services to its own customers. The Company plans to offer bundled
offerings consisting of local and long distance services combined with voice mail and other desired
service features.
Lightyear intends to offer service in the geographic areas currently served by Qwest Corporation.
Lightyear has an interconnection agreement with Qwest, which has been approved and is on file with
the Commission (Case No. QWE-03-11.) Lightyear initially will mirror the basic local calling
scopes of the incumbent local exchange companies.
Public Interest Standard
Grant of Lightyear s Application to provide facilities-based local exchange services is in the public
interest and serves the public convenience and necessity. In enacting the Federal Telecommunications
Act of 1996, the United States Congress determined that it is in the public interest to promote
competition in the provision of telecommunications services, including local exchange services.
Experience with competition in telecommunications markets such as local, long distance, and
competitive access demonstrates the benefits that competition can bring to consumers. Consumers are
enjoying increased services, lower prices, higher quality, and greater reliability. This is true not only
with respect to the service offerings of the new entrants, but also as a result of the response of
incumbent monopoly providers to the introduction of competition.
Lightyear s proposed services will provide multiple public benefits by increasing the competitive
choices available to users in Idaho. Enhanced competition in telecommunications services likely will
further stimulate economic development in Idaho. In addition, increased competition will create
incentives for all carriers to offer lower prices, more innovative services, and more responsive
customer service.

VIII.Waivers and Regulatory Compliance
Lightyear has reviewed all of the Commission s rules applicable to competitive local exchange service
providers and agrees to comply with those rules except to the extent the rules are explicitly waived for
Lightyear or for all carriers in the same class. Specifically, Lightyear requests exemption from the
following rules:
(a)Title 41, Chapter 1, Rules 101-103,02 - Guarantee in lieu of deposit:Lightyear requests
exemption only from that portion of the rule that requires a guarantee fonn on file with the
Commission.
(b)Title 41, Chapter 1, Rule 502.01 - Service Standards:To the extent that Lightyear offers
service on a UNE-P basis from the incumbent local exchange service providers, Lightyear
requests a waiver of the requirement to adopt and pursue a maintenance program for outside
plant facilities and equipment.
(c)Title 41, Chapter 2, Rule 102.03 - Press Release: Lightyear requests a waiver of the
requirement to send a press release to all newspapers, radio and television stations on the
Commission s list. Unlike the incumbent LECs whose customer density in any given area
makes press releases practical, Lightyear does not anticipate sufficient market share to warrant
the expense of preparing and coordinating a press release. Lightyear maintains a detailed web
site which includes infonnation on the company s services and rates as well as corporate
infonnation and all press releases. Lightyear customers will be infonned of the company
web site and will be able to receive all manner of infonnation from that cite. In addition
consumers will be infonned of rate increases, if any, by bill insert. Therefore, the additional
step of notification via press release is unnecessary,
Idaho Local Application of
Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC
Page 6
(d)Local Exchange Directories
Lightyear requests that it not be required to publish local exchange directories, Lightyear will
make arrangements with the incumbent LECs whereby the names of Lightyear s customers
will be included in the directories published by the incumbent LECs. These directories will
be distributed to Lightyear s customers. This approach is entirely reasonable and will have a
direct benefit to the customers of both Lightyear and the incumbent LECs since customers
will have to refer to only one directory for a universal listing of customer infonnation. It
would be an unnecessary burden on Lightyear to require that it publish and distribute its own
directory to all customers located within each exchange area, particularly since nearly all of
these customers will be customers of the incumbent LECs. It is more efficient for Lightyear
to simply include its limited customer list in the existing directories of the incumbent LECs.
(e)Title 41. Chapter 2, Rule 105 and 602.01: Customer Notice: Lightyear has requested a
waiver of the requirement to publish Local Telephone Directories. Rules 105 and 602.
require that each local exchange company summarize the provisions of Sections 48-1001 et
seq., Idaho Code, and summarize the customer disclosure rules in an annual insert in a billing
statement mailed to customer or by conspicuous publication in the consumer pages of the
local telephone directory. Lightyear maintains that such infonnation is published in the local
telephone directories and therefore does not need to be redistributed by Lightyear on an
annual basis.
(1)Reporting Requirements
Lightyear further requests waivers of any reporting requirements which, although applicable
to incumbent LECs, are not applicable to competitive providers such as Lightyear because
such requirements: (1) are not consistent with the demands of the competitive market; and (2)
they constitute an undue burden on a competitive provider, thereby requiring an inefficient
allocation of its limited resources. In addition, Lightyear reserves the right to seek any
regulatory waivers which may be required for Lightyear to compete effectively in the Idaho
local exchange services market.

Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC

IX.Conclusion
This Application demonstrates that Lightyear possesses the technical, fmancial and managerial
resources to provide local exchange service in Idaho. Lightyear has reviewed the applicable
Commission rules and agrees to comply with them, or request waivers of those rules it believes to be
inapplicable.
Wherefore, Lightyear respectfully requests that the Commission:1. grant Lightyear authority to operate as a provider of basic local exchange telecommunications
services in the State of Idaho;
grant the waivers requested in this Application; and
grant such other relief as it deems necessary and appropriate.
Respectfully submitted
