agreement; or the implementation of such an amendment (or portion) is not consistent with the
public interest, convenience and necessity.
CenturyLink respectfully submits this Amendment provides no basis for either of these
findings, and therefore requests 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 TWCIS to
interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide customers with increased choices among
local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests 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 16th day of August, 2023.
