Re:       Notice of a Pro Forma Intra-Company Change Resulting in the Pro Forma Transfer
          of Control of Certain International Section 214 Authorizations

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Crystal Communications, Inc. (“Crystal”), Enventis Telecom, Inc. (“Enventis Telecom”), and
IdeaOne Telecom, Inc. (“IdeaOne”), pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.24(f), notify the Commission of
an intra-company change (the “Pro Forma Change”) that resulted in the pro forma transfer of
direct control of Crystal, Enventis Telecom and IdeaOne and their international Section 214
authorizations (“Authorizations” and each an “Authorization”) from Enventis Corporation to
Consolidated Communications, Inc. (“CCI”).1 Since Enventis Corporation was a direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of CCI, the transfer of control was pro forma in nature. The Pro Forma
Change, along with certain other pro forma intra-company changes, was undertaken to simply
the corporate structure and reduce the reporting and accounting burdens of the company and
provide operational efficiencies.

        Crystal, Enventis Telecom, IdeaOne, Enventis and CCI are collectively referred to as the
“Parties.”
