JEFF LOLL,DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
SUBJECT: IN THE MATTER OF ACCESSLINE COMMUNICATIONS
CORPORATION'S APPLICATION TO VOLUNTARILY CANCEL ITS
AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE INTEREXCHANGE CARRIER SERVICES
AND ITS PRICE LIST; CASE NO. ALI-T-26-01.
On May 7, 2026, AccessLine Communications Corporation ("Company) submitted a
request for voluntary cancellation of its authority to provide interexchange services and price list
("Request") with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission("Commission").
STAFF ANALYSIS
Commission Staff ("Staff') reviewed the Request. The Company is requesting to
voluntarily withdraw their interexchange carrier ("IXC") status and cancel the price list on file
with the Commission. In the Request, the Company references a certificate, but Staff was unable
to find a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity("CPCN") on file with the Commission.
In response to Staff Production Request No. 1, the Company provided an email it received from
Staff dated November 24, 2014, stating the Company was listed as an interexchange carrier and
therefore does not have registration with the Commission. In response to Staff Production Request
No. 3, the Company indicated that even though it is seeking to discontinue offering IXC services
in Idaho, it is still providing nomadic interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol
telecommunication services in Idaho. Staff believes that the Company should remain on record
with the Commission as providing Other Telecommunication services in the state of Idaho. In its
response to Staff Production Request No. 4, the Company stated that it did not send a customer
notice or seek a waiver of the notice requirement in conjunction with the Request because it did
not have any customers for its regulated IXC services in Idaho.
DECISION MEMORANDUM - I - SEPTEMBER 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission acknowledge the Company's Request to
voluntarily cancel IXC services in the state of Idaho and its price list. Staff recommends that the
Commission keep the Company on record as providing Other Telecommunication services in the
state of Idaho.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to acknowledge the Request to voluntarily cancel its price list
and IXC service submitted by the Company? Does the Commission wish to keep the Company
on record with the Commission as providing Other Telecommunication services in Idaho?
