IDACOMM and Qwest respectfully 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-

Federal Communications Commission. Expeditious approval of this Amendment will enable
IDACOMM to interconnect with Qwest facilities and to provide customers with increased
choices among local telecommunications services.
IDACOMM 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.
Respectfully submitted this ih day of December, 2004.
