Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC ("CenturyLink") hereby hle this Application for
Approval of the Adoption of Interconnection Agreement by TDS Metrocom, LLC adopting the
Interconnection Agreement between Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC and Comcast
Phone of Idaho, LLC for the State of Idaho ("Adopted Agreement"). The Adopted Agreement
with TDS Metrocom, LLC ("TDS Metrocom") is submitted herewith.
This Adopted Agreement was reached through voluntary negotiations without resort to
mediation or arbitration and is submitted for approval pursuant to Section 252(e) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act").
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(s) thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications ca:rier 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.
CenturyLink respectfully submits that this Adopted Agreement provides no basis for
either of these findings, and, therefore requests that the Commission approve this Adopted
Agreement expeditiously. This Adopted 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 this
Adopted Agreement will enable TDS Metrocom to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and
to provide customers with increased choices among local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Adopted Agreement
without a hearing. Because this Adopted Agreement 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 apprwal would further the public interest.
Respecttully submitted this /4 '^ day of July,20lg.

entirety by CLEC pursuant to CLEC's statutory rights under Section 252(i). The filing and
performance by Centurylink of the Terms does not in any way constitute a waiver by

Terms, or to seek review in any way of any provisions included in these Terms as a result
