Thank you for spending the time to discuss the Channel Islands ILEC Certification. I realize that
you did not have time to review the entire record before our call and that you are new to this project. I
believe all of your questions can be answered in our initial application dated June 25, 2008. Additional
information can be found in our reply to Verizon’s comments dated August 15, 2008. Finally,
information can be found in Michael Hazzard’s letter dated July 10, 2009.
Specifically, in paragraph one on page two of our initial application we describe the area we seek to
serve. On page three in paragraph one, we describe the technology we plan to use to provide Plain
Old Telephone Service. In paragraph three, we further describe other services we plan to offer.
Since Verizon will not be decommissioning their cell site that serves one small part of Santa Cruz
Island, we do not plan to provide telephone service to the Nature Conservancy.
I am attaching a map of the actual service locations that will allow us to bring the much needed phone
service and internet access to the United States Park Service, Coast Guard, researchers, and residents
of the Channel Islands. In addition, pay stations with emergency 911 access will be provided for the
approximately 30,000 visitors a year who visit the Channel Islands.
We look forward to discussing this with you next week.
Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Todd Lesser
President
Channel Islands Telephone Company
