X. Conclusion Regarding CPCN

Given the actions by other states, the FCC, and the FTC, and the restitution and fines included in the settlement, we see no reason not to grant the requested CPCN. We conclude that the application conforms to our rules for certification as a CLC. Accordingly, we shall grant Applicant a CPCN to provide limited facilities-based and resold local exchange service in Pacific and Verizon's service territories subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. However, we remind Applicant that we expect full compliance with all Commission rules and orders as well as applicable statutes.

In order that customers may be paid restitution as soon as possible, and because of the public interest in competitive local exchange services, this decision should be effective immediately.
