Dortch, Secretary RECEIVED Federal Communications Commission 445 12thStreet, SW JAN2 5 2006 Washington, DC 20554 FederalCommunications Commission Officeof Secretary Attn: International Bureau Re: Notification of Madison River Communications, LLC Discontinuance of Certain International Services (filed Dec. 2, 2005) Amendment to Notification Dear Ms. Dortch: On December 2,2005, pursuant to Section 63.19 of the Commission's Rules, Madison River Communications, LLC ("Madison River") filed a notification of its intent to discontinue international services offered in Mississippi and Louisiana as of February 28, 2006, or as soon thereafter as all regulatory approvals had been obtained. Madison River has recently learned that some errors occurred during the notification process discussed therein, and seeks to supplement the record to provide corrected information. Working from its customers list (all of whom are business users), Madison River sent notifications via overnight delivery service to each of its 275 subscn"bers,except those seventeen subscribers for whom only a post office box address was available. Those seventeen subscribers received notification via US mail, return confirmation requested. After receipt of only 240 confirmed receipts, Madison River undertook additional follow-up efforts, sending additional notices via US mail and facsimile, subsequently receiving confirmation of notification that an additional 30 customers had received notification. Additional efforts were made to contact the remaining 5 customers, including additional overnight or US mail attempts, as well as facsimile. Efforts continue to contact these customers. An alert regarding discontinuance was also included on all billings sent out in December and January. In the interim, however, it was determined that three customers were inadvertently omitted from the original list. Initial notifications were mailed to these customers on January 4, 2006, and Madison River has confirmed that each of these customers has received the required notice. As to these three customers, Madison River is informed that each already has contacted at least one alternative service provider and two have secured an alternative service provider. I

Ms. Dortch January 25, 2006 Page Two Madison River reports that as of January 20, 2006 approximately 115 of its original 278 customers have already changed carriers or have informed Madison River of a service transition date. Madison River continues to work with its subscribers to assist in their individual transition to alternative carriers. Recognizing the necessity of providing 60 days' notification, Madison River reports that it will not discontinue international services prior to March 6, 2006. Please refer any questions or correspondence concerning this matter to the undersigned (noting change in contact information as shown above). Respectfully submitted,
