OPINION GRANTING THE REQUEST OF VERIZON AVENUE CORP.
TO WITHDRAW ITS PROVISION OF RESOLD LOCAL EXCHANGE
SERVICE AND RELINQUISH ITS CERTIFICATE OF
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY

Summary

This decision grants the application of Verizon Avenue Corp. (Verizon Ave.)¹ for authority to withdraw its provision of resold local exchange service and related bundled service offerings and to relinquish its certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN). Verizon Ave. has complied with the draft Mass Migration Guidelines (guidelines) issued in Rulemaking (R.) 03-06-020, and Verizon Ave.'s remaining customers have been transferred to Pacific Bell Telephone Co. d/b/a/ AT&T California (AT&T). Thus, it can be determined that granting Verizon Ave.'s request is in the public interest. As a result of this decision, Verizon Ave. will no longer provide resold local exchange service.

¹ Verizon Ave. formerly was known as One-Point Communications-Colorado, L.L.C.
