PURSUANT TO 47 U.S.C.§252(E)
CenturyTel of the Gem State, Inc. dba CenturyLink and CenturyTel of Idaho, Inc. dba
CenturyLink("individually and collectively, CenturyLink")hereby file this Application for
Approval of the Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS) Agreement by and between
CenturyLink and Gold Star Communications, LLC dba Silver Star Communications ("Gold
Star") for the State of Idaho ("Agreement"). The Agreement with Gold Star is submitted
herewith.
This 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 carrier 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 Agreement provides no basis for either of
these findings, and, therefore requests that the Commission approve this Agreement
expeditiously. This 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 Agreement will enable
Gold Star to interconnect with CenturyLink facilities and to provide customers with increased
choices among local telecommunications services.
CenturyLink further requests that the Commission approve this Agreement without a
hearing. Because this Agreement was reached through voluntary negotiations, it does not raise
issues requiring a hearing and does not concern other parties not a parry to the negotiations.
Expeditious approval would further the public interest.
Respectfully submitted this 12th day of June, 2024.
