Re: Gates Communications, Inc.

Dear Ms. Jewell:

On behalf of the company, I hereby respectfully request to cancel Gates
Communications, Inc.'s (Gates) intrastate telecommunications services.

This request is based upon Gates's determination that it no longer intends to provide
telecommunications services in the State of Idaho. Based upon the fact that Gates currently
has no customers, Gates asserts that the voluntary discontinuance of its certification will
have no adverse impact upon consumers.

I have also enclosed an extra copy of this letter to be date stamped and returned to
me in the enclosed, self-addressed, postage prepaid envelope.

If you have any questions or if I may provide you with any additional information,
please do not hesitate to call me.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/

Lance J.M. Steinhart
Attorney for Gates Communications, Inc.
