RE: CITIZENS TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OF IDAHO’S
APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A RESALE AGREEMENT WITH
BULLSEYE TELECOM, INC.; CASE NO. CTC-T-20-01.
BACKGROUND
Under the provisions of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, resale agreements
must be submitted to the Commission for approval. 47 U.S.C. § 252(e)(1). The Commission
may reject an agreement adopted by negotiations only if it finds that the agreement: (1)
discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement; or (2)
implementation of the agreement is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and
necessity. 47 U.S.C. § 252(e)(2)(A).
THE APPLICATION
On March 20, 2020, Citizens Telecommunications Company of Idaho (Frontier)
submitted an Application seeking Commission approval for a resale agreement with BullsEye
Telecom, Inc. (BullsEye). This agreement sets out the terms and conditions related to the resale
of Frontier’s local services by BullsEye.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the Application and believes the agreement is consistent with the FCC
orders and pro-competitive policies of this Commission, the Idaho Legislature, and the federal
Telecommunications Act. Accordingly, Staff recommends Commission approval of the
Application for an interconnection agreement.
