InteraTel and Qwest respectfuny submit this Amendment provides no basis for either of
these findings, and, therefore jointly request that the Commission approve this Amendment
expeditiously. This Amendment 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 this Amendment will enable
InteraTel to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased choices
among local telecommunications services.
InteraTel and Qwest further request that the Commission approve this Amendment
without a hearing. Because this Amendment was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does
not raise issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a party to the
negotiations. Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfuny submitted this 23rd day of December, 2003.
