IN THE MATTER OF METRO FIBERNET, )
LLC'S APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL ) CASE NO. MFN-T-25-01
AS A COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE )
CARRIER IN THE STATE OF IDAHO )
Request for Extension
On August 21, 2025, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission("Commission") issued
Order No. 36733 in this matter. Through that Order, the Commission issued Metro Fibemet, LLC
("Metronet") a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity ("CPCN") to operate as a
competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") in the State of Idaho, subject to the conditions set
forth in the Order.
Per the Order, various compliance filings were required to be filed with the Commission
indicating the number of basic local exchange customers the Metronet had as of each filing. These
filings were required to be filed on September 10,2025,December 10, 2025, and March 10, 2026.
Further, the Order states that if Metronet does not provide basic local exchange service by March
10, 2026, "the Commission shall revoke the Company's CPCN." (Order at p. 4). Metronet timely
filed each of the compliance filings, but as of March 10, 2026, does not yet provide basic local
exchange services in Idaho.
On March 11, 2026, a Metronet representative met with Idaho Telecom Staff and Staff
Counsel to discuss possible alternative solutions for Metronet in lieu of the Commission revoking
its CPCN for failure to meet the March 10, 2026 date. As explained to Staff representatives,
Metronet is certified as a CLEC in over 20 states, currently operates in 19 states, and is actively
building its fiber optic networks in several states. Metronet's build plan for Idaho remains in
progress but is not yet ready for deployment.As a result of its discussion with Staff,Metronet files
this Request for Extension to provide basic local exchange services in Idaho to December 31,2026
to better accommodate Metronet's build plans. In advance of the extension date, Metronet agrees
to provide compliance updates at regular intervals as directed by the Commission.
For the foregoing reasons, Metronet respectfully requests that the Commission grant this
Request for Extension for Metronet to provide basic local exchange services in Idaho by December
31, 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
