The Commission has reviewed the record in this case and Staff s Comments. Based on our
review,we find that the Company may withdraw or discontinue providing basic local exchange or
message telecommunication services. Further, we find that the Company properly notified the
Commission of its intent to withdraw or stop providing services. Because the Company does not
have any customers, the Commission finds that a customer notice in a newspaper in the local
exchange area is unnecessary. Accordingly, we acknowledge the Company's relinquishment of
CPCN No. 484 and that the Company is discontinuing all of its telecommunication services in the
State of Idaho. Following the service date of this Order, the Commission will cancel and remove
from the Commission's website the Company's tariff and pricelist.
