   NOTIFICATION OF P              ) FORMA TRANSFER OF NEGATIVE CONTROL

Dear Ms. Dortch:

       Pursuant to Section 6      A(f ) of the Commission‘s Rules, we hereby notify the
Commission of the consumt         ion ofan internal corporate reorganization which has
resulted in the pro forma trai    er of negative control of Tularosa Communications, Inc.
(Tularosa), from The Pondei       a Telephone Co. (TPTC) to Ponderosa Communications,
Inc. (PC]).

       The pro forma transfer of control occurred on December 19, 2002, upon the
transfer of 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of TPTC by the
current shareholders of TPTC to its affiliate and the simultaneous spin—off by TPTC of
Stageline Communications, Inc. (SCI), the indirect 50 percent parent of Tularosa. This
pro forma internal corporate reorganization was accomplished by the shareholders of
TPTC exchanging, on a one—for—one basis, their shares of stock in TPTC for stock in PCI
so that the ultimate beneficial ownership and control of TPTC and Tularosa remained
unchanged and (b) the immediate transfer, by TPTC of its stock interest in SCI to PCI.
As a result of this internal corporate reorganization, TPTC became wholly—owned
subsidiary of PCI, a holding company, while Tularosa became a 50 percent owned
indirect subsidiary of PCI. Inasmuch as the ultimate beneficial ownership and control of
Tularosa has remained unchanged, the internal corporate reorganization was pro forma
in nature, as defined by Section 63.24"4)      of the Commission‘s Rules.


       PCI certifies, pursuant to Sections 1.2001 through 1.2003 of the Commission‘s
Rules, that neither it nor any of their affiliates, within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, are subject t a denial of Federal benefits
pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §862.

        The undersigned certifies, (1) that the internal corporate reorganization, described
above is pro forma, as defined by Section 63.24( d) of the Commission‘s Rules and (11) the
pro forma transaction, taken together with any previous pro forma transactions to the
extent any such transactions exist, did not result in a change in Tularosa‘s ultimate
control.

      Please direct any questions regarding this matter to our counsel, Blooston,
Mordkofsky, Dickens, Duffy & Prendergast, 2120 L Street, NW., Suite 300,
Washington, D.C. 20554.
