PETITION OF CTC TELECOM, INC. TO DEMONSTRATE SATISFACTION OF
REQUIREMENTS TO HOLD CPCN 348 AND TO DEMONSTRATE SATISFACTION OF
CRITERIA TO HOLD ITS DESIGNATION AS AN ELIGIBLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
CARRIER
Pursuant to Order No. 36077 of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the"Commission")
CTC Telecom, Inc. ("CTC"), by and through its undersigned attorney, hereby submits to the
Commission this Petition to demonstrate that CTC still meets the requirements
necessary to hold its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 348, as
the same has been amended from time to time ("CPCN") and still satisfies the
criteria to be designated an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier("ETC').
CTC sold substantially all of its assets located in Ada County, Idaho used to provide voice and
broadband services over fiber to the home facilities. CTC retained those assets used to provide
fixed wireless service to customers in Ada County, Idaho. On May 26, 2023, CTC filed an
CTC Petition to Demonstrate CTC Satisfies CPCN Requirements and ETC Designation—1

application with the Commission to amend its CPCN to remove those territories where facilities
were sold, but to retain the CPCN to continue to provide services to its fixed wireless customers
in Ada County, Idaho.
On July 12, 2023,the Commission opened a new case for CTC to review the asset transfer
for compliance with Idaho Code § 61-328. CTL-T-23-03.
CTC objected to the Commission's discovery requests and review of the asset transfer based
upon the Commission's lack of statutory authority to do so.
On January 31, 2024, the Commission dismissed CTL-T-23-03 in Order No. 36077 but
ordered CTC to file this petition and supporting materials demonstrating that CTC still satisfies
the criteria for a CPCN and evidence that it still satisfies the criteria for ETC designation.

A. Proposed Services
