_________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY

This resolution revokes, at the request of the companies, the Non-Dominant Interexchange Carrier (NDIEC) Certificates of Public Conveniences and Necessity (CPCNs) held by the 25 companies listed in the Discussion Section.

BACKGROUND

The 25 companies listed in the Discussion section below were certificated by the Commission as non-dominant interexchange carriers. All required tariffs were filed.

Each company has stated in either a letter to the Commission or an Advice Letter that it no longer has any customers and that it requests revocation of its CPCN.

Each of the above companies has sent either a letter or an Advice Letter to the Commission requesting revocation. There is no reason to deny this request since there are numerous competitors in the long distance market.

The Telecommunications Division (TD) recommends that these requests for revocation be granted and that the companies' Utility Identification Numbers be cancelled. TD's Public Programs Branch has determined that the company's surcharge accounts have no unremitted balances.

This is an uncontested matter in which the resolution grants the relief requested. Accordingly, pursuant to PU Code Section 311 (g)(2), the 30-day period for public review and comment is being waived.

FINDINGS

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that:
