NEWS RELEASE: Commission issues decision on application from telecommunications
companies regarding certificate of public convenience and necessity that reflects name change,
merger.
BOISE (May 2, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has issued a decision regarding
an application from AT&T Corp. and AT&T Enterprises, Inc. that asked for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity for a newly named company that would continue to offer local
telecommunication exchange services in Idaho.
Utilities in Idaho are required to apply to the commission for the certificates when they intend to
make changes to business operations.
After an internal restructuring,AT&T Enterprises, Inc. will undergo a name change to AT&T
Enterprises, LLC. The companies asked that Enterprises, LLC.'s name be reflected on the
proposed certificate of public convenience and necessity, which would cover the same service
territory as that on a certificate of public convenience and necessity previously granted to AT&T
Corp.
The two companies also asked that should the public utilities commission decide otherwise,
AT&T Enterprises, Inc. be granted a new certificate with conditional approval of an amendment
to the certificate for a name change to AT&T Enterprises, LLC. after adequate documentation
regarding the name change is given to the commission.
The internal restructuring involves AT&T Corp. merging with AT&T Enterprises, Inc. in early
May, after which AT&T Corp. would cease to exist. In addition,AT&T Enterprises, Inc. would
change its name to AT&T Enterprises, LLC.
The companies said customer rates and service would not change after the restructuring.
The commission decided to grant a new certificate to AT&T Enterprises, Inc. because at the time
of the application AT&T Enterprises, LLC. does not legally exist. In its decision issued May 1,
the commission said if the companies want to change the name on the new certificate to AT&T
Enterprises, LLC., the companies are required to submit a filing to the commission requesting
the change within 60 days of May 1. The commission said the filing would be required to include

documents related to the new company's certificate of authority to do business in Idaho as a
foreign corporation and any other relevant documentation from the Idaho Secretary of State that
would certify the new company's authorization to conduct business in Idaho.
The commission also required AT&T Enterprises, Inc. to provide information regarding the
number of basic local exchange customers it has and the services being offered, among other
items, as part of the approval of its certificate.
