Attachment 1 FCC Form 214 Transfer of Control of IVC RSA 2-I Page 1 REVISED DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT In this application, Illinois Valley Cellular RSA 2-I Partnership (“IVC RSA 2-I”) seeks consent from the Commission to transfer control of the Section 214 authorization for global resale, File No. ITC-214-20010507-00291 of IVC RSA 2-I (with no single owner holding more than a 40% interest) to MTCO Corporation (“MTCO”). Prior to January 1, 2017, the ownership of IVC RSA 2-I consisted of the following: (1) Tonica Cellular, Inc. (“Tonica”) held an 11.11 percent general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-I; (2) Leonore Cellular, Inc. (“Leonore”) held a 14.51 percent general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-I; (3) Cencomm, Inc. (“Cencomm”) held a 37.19 percent general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-I; and (4) Marseilles Cellular, Inc. (“Marseilles”), which is 100% owned by MTCO, held a 37.19 percent general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-I. On January 1, 2017, the general partnership interests held by Leonore (14.51 percent) and Cencomm (37.19 percent) were distributed to Marseilles and Tonica. As a result, MTCO’s indirect general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-I increased from 37.19 percent to 77 percent and Tonica’s general partnership interest in IVC RSA 2-II increased from 11.11 percent to 23 percent. The Parties respectfully submit that Commission approval of the transfer of control will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity. IVC RSA 2-I is a longstanding FCC licensee, operating state of the art digital wireless networks in eight counties running from the Indiana State line to south of Chicago, to near Peoria, Illinois and then on towards the Iowa state line. Unlike other wireless providers, it has concentrated on building towers that serve the needs of the local communities and the rural farming community. IVC RSA 2-I holds several licenses in good standing and provides commercial mobile wireless service in furtherance of the public interest. Finally, the transaction that triggered the transfer of control did not impact the operations of IVC RSA 2-I, including its customers, as there was no change in the operations of the partnership. The Commission has determined that applications that demonstrate on their face that a transaction will yield affirmative competitive public interest benefits and will neither violate the Act or Commission rules, nor frustrate or undermine policies and enforcement of the Act by reducing competition or otherwise, do not require extensive review or expenditure of considerable resources by the Commission. This transaction meets this standard and should thus be granted promptly. By separate application, Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) is requested to allow for continued operation and continued service to customers by IVC RSA 2-I while this application is considered by the International Bureau.
