BACKGROUND
In May 2007, the Commission granted Matrix Telecom, Inc. CPCN No. 468 and
enabled it to provide local exchange and interexchange services in Idaho. Order No. 30312. In
October 2008, the Commission authorized Matrix Telecom, Inc. to amend its CPCN to reflect that
it had changed its name to Matrix Telecom, Inc. d/b/a Matrix Business Technologies d/b/a Trinsic
Communications. Order No. 30648. On May 3, 2016, the Commission amended CPCN No. 468
to reflect that Matrix Telecom, Inc. had changed its name to Matrix Telecom, LLC. Order No.
33517 at 3.
The Company has now notified the Commission that it changed its name to Lingo
Telecom, LLC. The Company filed a copy of the Amendment of Foreign Registration Statement
with the Idaho Secretary of State’s office on November 24, 2021, and a Certificate of Amendment
issued by the Texas Secretary of State’s office on November 4, 2021. Staff reviewed the
Company’s amended Application and supporting documentation, including Amended Tariffs Nos.
ORDER NO. 35411 2
9-12, and believed these accurately reflect the name change. Therefore, Staff recommended that
the Commission amend CPCN No. 468 to reflect the name change to Lingo Telecom, LLC.
FINDINGS
Based on our review of the Company’s filing and Staff’s recommendation, the
Commission finds it appropriate to amend Certificate No. 468 to reflect that the Company has
changed its name to Lingo Telecom, LLC.
O R D E R
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Certificate No. 468 is amended to reflect that the
Certificate holder’s name is Lingo Telecom, LLC.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order regarding any matter
decided in this Order. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration,
any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code §§ 61-626 and 62-619.
