Section 252(e)(2)of the Act directs that a state Commission may reject an agreement
reached through voluntary negotiations only if the Commission finds that:the agreement (or
portion thereof)discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to this
agreement;or,the implementation of such an agreement (or portion)is not consistent with the
public interest,convenience and necessity.
KMC and Qwest respectfullysubmit that this Wireline Agreement provides no basis for
either of these findings,and,therefore jointly request that the Commission approve this
Agreement expeditiously.The Agreement is consistent with the public interest as identified in
the pro-competitive policies of the State of Idaho,the Commission,the United States Congress,
and the Federal Communications Commission.Expeditious approval of the Agreement will
enable KMC to interconnect with Qwest facilities and provide customers with increased
choices among local telecommunications services.
KMC and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Wireline Agreement

negotiations.Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
