IDAHO PUBLIC

REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION
Access Point, Inc. ("API" or "Company") hereby notifies the Commission that, API no

Order No. 30636 on September 9, 2008.
As result of a transaction completed on October 1, 2018, the Company is a direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of GTT Americas, LLC ("GTTA"). GTTA is a Delaware limited liability
company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary ofGTT Communications, Inc. ("GTT"), a publicly­
traded Delaware corporation (NYSE: GTT). Both GTTA and GTT are headquartered at 7900

GC Pivotal is a Delaware limited liability company with headquarters at 7900 Tysons One

III. REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION
In order to provide more effective billing and customer service support to the commercial
and enterprise customers that constitute API' s former customer base, that customer base is now
served by API's affiliate, GC Pivotal. As a result, API no longer provides telecommunications
services in Idaho and therefore requests that the Commission cancel its Certificate and tariff(s).
GC Pivotal provides telecommunications services to API's customers pursuant to GC
Pivotal's Certificate under the same rates, terms and conditions as the services previously provided
by API. API's customers received prior notice of the change in their provider. The change in
provider, therefore, was seamless to customers and the requested cancellation is merely an
administrative step. Further, the financial, technical, and managerial resources of GTT, combined
with the capabilities of GC Pivotal's telecommunications network will benefit the customer base
previously served by API, enhancing their billing and customer service experience and giving them
access to the network solutions available from GC Pivotal.
All revenues, customer lines and any associated assessments previously reported and
remitted by API will be reported and remitted by GC Pivotal. Further, to the extent that API had
any outstanding obligations, including deposits, to any customers, GC Pivotal is now responsible
for such obligations.
Since API no longer provides telecommunications services in Idaho, and GC Pivotal
provides telecommunications services to API's customers pursuant to the same rates, terms and
conditions of service, the cancellation of API Certificate will serve the public interest. API,
therefore, requests that the Commission act on this request as soon as practicable.
