RE:Tsunami Communications, Inc. Request to Withdraw Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity No. 365
On July 29 2002, we received a request from Tsunami Broadband, Inc. to withdraw its
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate No. 365). Tsunami issued a notice
dated July 9 2002, to its customers advising them their telephone service would be moved to
Qwest Communications, but that Tsunami will continue to provide Internet and digital satellite
cable television provider.
In September 2000, Tsunami applied for a Certificate to provide prepaid local service and
the Application was approved by Order No. 28584. Tsunami posted the required $40 000
indemnity bond (which is to remain in force until the Commission issues an order to release the
surety) and has a tariff on file.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission issue an order canceling Tsunami's Certificate
and tariff and releasing our requirement for an indemnity bond. Does the Commission agree?
