the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") to demonstrate that it still meets the
requirements necessary to hold its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity("CPCN")No.
494 ("Petition"). This Petition was in response to the Commission's review of an asset transfer
between the Company and CTC Telecom, Inc. ("CTC") and the Commission's subsequent Order.
See Order No. 36077.
BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2023, CTC applied to amend its CPCN No. 348 to relinquish the right to
provide voice and broadband services via fiber in Ada County, Idaho. In support of this request,
CTC disclosed that it had sold the telecommunications equipment and facilities used to provide
those services in Ada County to the Company. In response, Commission Staff ("Staff')
recommended the Commission open a new case to review the asset transfer in light of Idaho Code
§ 61-328 and previous Commission orders. In a subsequent Commission order, the Company was
ordered to file this Petition, with supporting materials, to demonstrate that it still satisfies the
requirements for operating under a CPCN after purchasing all the assets of CTC. Order No. 36077
at 6.
THE PETITION
The Company reported serving over 4,000 residential and commercial customers across
multiple counties. The Company stated that it primarily uses fiber optic facilities. The Petition
explained that the Company is a Wyoming limited liability company—with proper registration as
a foreign entity in Idaho. The Petition included required details about service territory, corporate
officers, financial information, and other documentation to comply with regulatory requirements.

Commission requirements for telecommunication services in Idaho. Staff stated that the Company
successfully demonstrated the financial, managerial, and technical qualifications needed to
maintain CPCN No. 494 for competitive local exchange telecommunications services. Staff noted
that CPCN No. 494 was originally granted on March 17, 2010,pursuant to Order No. 31027. Staff
also stated that the Company has continuously operated under CPCN No. 494 since that time.
