       RE:     Application of United Communications Holdings, LLC for the Transfer of
               Control of United Telephone Company d/b/a United Communications, its
               wholly-owned subsidiary United Communications, Inc. (formerly UTC Video
               Concepts, LLC), and its affiliate UTC Long Distance, LLC that provide
               interstate interexchange and exchange access services in Tennessee pursuant
               to a blanket domestic Section 214 authorizations.

               WC Docket No. 17-242

               IBFS File No. IB2017002517


Dear Ms. Dortch:

This letter constitutes a supplement to the application of United Communications Holdings, LLC
(“UCH”) for approval of the transfer of control of the Domestic and International 214
authorizations held by UCH’s wholly-owned subsidiaries United Telephone Company d/b/a
United Communications, United Communications, Inc. (formerly UTC Video Concepts, LLC),
and UTC Long Distance, LLC. The applications were filed with the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) on September 8, 2017 and this supplemental filing is being made in
response to a request from Greg Kwan of the FCC's Competition Policy Division, Wireline
Competition Bureau, for the following additional information in WC Docket No. 17-242.

This letter will confirm that none of the remaining three interest holders in UCH following the
redemption of the ownership interests of MSouth Equity Partners, LP, (i.e., William Bradford,
Eugene Johnson and Michael Jury) holds any cognizable ownership interest in any other
telecommunications service providers.

A copy of this letter is also being submitted through the IBFS to be associated with the
companion application to transfer control of the International 214 authorization held by UTC
Long Distance, LLC.


                                                                             Bennet & Bennet, PLLC
