Re: Ziply Fiber Pacific, LLC d/b/a Ziply Fiber and Ziply Wireless, LLC, d/b/a Ziply
Fiber's Applications for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier in
the State of Idaho to Receive Federal Lifeline Support
Case Nos. ZFP-T-24-02 and ZWL-T-24-02
Dear Mr. Triplett,
We write to follow up on Ziply Fiber's Reply Comments, dated April 23, 2025, in the
above-referenced matters, concerning Ziply Fiber's outstanding applications for designation as
Eligible Telecommunications Carriers ("ETC") in the State of Idaho.
Given the significance of this matter to Idaho's low-income and rural communities, we
respectfully request a meeting with you, Commission Staff, and Ms. Jessica Epley and Ms.
Elizabeth Brayman of Ziply Fiber to discuss any outstanding issues and concerns raised by Staff,
in light of the Reply Comments submitted by Ziply Fiber.
We believe a collaborative meeting would provide an opportunity to discuss whether, in
light of the Ziply Fiber's Reply Comments and supporting materials, the Staff would consider
revising its recommendation to the Commission.
Please let us know your availability and that of appropriate Staff members so we can
coordinate schedules with Ms. Epley and Ms. Brayman. We are willing to work cooperatively
toward a resolution if possible.
Sincerely,
ARKOOSH LAW OFFICES
