Re:Notification of Cancellation of the Telecommunications Authorization
And Associated Tariff of Maskina Communications, Inc.
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Maskina Communications, Inc. ("Maskina ), by its attorneys, respectfully requests that
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission ) cancel its authorization to provide
intrastate telecommunications services in Idaho. At this time, Maskina has no customers in
Idaho for the services offered under its intrastate authorization, so no customers will be affected
by this cancellation. It is Maskina s understanding that no formal approval is required from the
Commission to surrender its authorization. Should the Commission determine that approval is
required, Maskina respectfully requests that the Commission approve the cancellation of its
authority as discussed herein.
Maskina, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Texas on May 4, 1999, currently is
located at 8445 Freeport Parkway, Suite 650, Irving, Texas 75063 , [phone]. Although
the Company is registered to provide intrastate telecommunications services in Idaho
Maskina s parent company, Vyke Communications pIc, a publicly traded company incorporated
in the United Kingdom, has decided to withdraw most of its operations from the United States
and concentrate its service offerings abroad. Thus, Maskina is exiting the United States
telecommunications market. Because Maskina has no customers, no customer notification letter
of discontinuance is required.
I Maskina registered to provide competitive telecommunications services, effective December 22, 2005.
Ms. Jean Jewell
