Re:     Illinois Valley Cellular RSA 2—II Partnership, IBFS File No. ITC—214—
        20010507—00292

Dear Ms. Dortch:

This letter notifies the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") of an internal corporate
restructuring involving indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Verizon Communications Inc.
("Verizon") that was completed on September 30, 2017 and that affects the above—captioned
licensee and FCC authorization. Out of an abundance of caution, Verizon is filing this letter to
notify the Commission of this pro forma transfer to the extent it affects its 40 percent non—
managing general partner interest in Illinois Valley Cellular RSA 2—II Partnership (the
"Partnership"). Verizon previously transferred its voting rights associated with this general
partnership interest to a voting trust.‘

The restructuring eliminated or relocated several companies in the Verizon ownership chain,
resulting in the transfer of control or assignment of certain FCC licensees, authorizations and
spectrum leases within Verizon. The following steps took place virtually simultaneously on
September 30, 2017:

Distribution and Contribution of GTE Wireless of the Midwest Incorporated

        e   GTE Wireless LLC distributed the stock of GTE Wireless of the Midwest
            Incorporated ("GTE Midwest"), through a series of Verizon—controlled entities, to
            Verizon.

        e   Verizon contributed the stock of GTE Midwest to Verizon Americas Finance 1 Inc.
            ("Verizon Finance").

        e   Verizon Finance contributed the stock of GTE Midwest to Verizon Americas Inc.
            ("Verizon Americas").

Liquidation of Cellular Inc. Network Corporation and Distribution of CommNet Cellular Inc.

          o   Cellular Inc. Network Corporation ("CINC") liquidated into CommNet Cellular Inc.

          e   Cellco Partnership ("Celleo") distributed the stock of CommNet Cellular Inc.
              ("CommNet") to Verizon Americas in partial redemption of Verizon America‘s
              interest in Cellco.

Contribution of Cellco Interest

          e   Verizon Americas contributed a 10% general partner interest in Cellco to GTE
              Midwest (Verizon Americas retained approximately a 36% general partner interest in
              Celleo).
