Answer to Question 13 Greenway Communications, LLC. (“Applicant”), pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934,1 as amended, and Sections 63.03, 63.04, and 63.24 of the Commission’s Rules2, hereby requests consent to the transfer of ultimate control of Applicant, holder of international and domestic 214 authority, as part of an internal reorganization of the Applicant. Steve Akre and Gary Woods collectively own and control the Applicant. Under this transfer of control of the Applicant, ultimate control of Applicant will transfer from Mr. Steve Akre and Mr. Gary Woods (collectively “Transferors”) to H3 Mortgage Company d/b/a Jasper Telecom (“Transferee”). The Transferee is wholly owned by Michael Hatfield. He is a US Citizen. Pursuant to a Membership Unit Purchase Agreement ("Agreement"), the Transferee will purchase 100% of the Membership Units of Greenway Communications, LLC. The parties thereto will complete a transaction that includes purchase of Membership Units wherein Transferee will acquire from Transferors one-hundred percent (100%) of the equity of Applicant. Closing will occur within five (5) days of completion of all regulatory approvals and/or notifications required for the subject transaction. A diagram depicting the pre- and post-Transaction corporate ownership structure of the Applicant follows: Before Transaction Greenway Communications, LLC 100% owned Steve Akre and Gary Wood 1 47 U.S.C. § 214. 2 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.03, 63.04, and 63.24.

After Transaction H3 Mortgage Company d/b/a Jasper Telecom 100% owned by Michael Hatfield Greenway Communications, LLC A wholly owned subsidiary of H3 Mortgage Company d/b/a Jasper Telecom The proposed transaction will serve the public interest by ensuring that Applicant will remain fully capitalized through resources provided by Mr. Hatfield through H3 Mortgage Corporation d/b/a Jasper Telecom. The instant proposed transaction will ensure that the proper corporate and financial structure remain in place for the Applicant to operate. The proposed transaction will have no adverse impact on current customers and will be virtually transparent to customers in terms of the service they now receive. Customer rates, terms and conditions will not change because of this transaction. The transaction is a Membership Unit Purchase only and the Company’s business practices, customer service offerings, and/or customer billing will remain the same post transaction. The proposed transaction also raises no competitive issues, and there will be no reduction of competition in the service areas. Moreover, Applicant’s share of the domestic and international telecommunications markets in the United States is very small, and consumers will continue to have a wide range of competitive choices following consummation of the proposed transaction.

Answer to Question 20 Statement on how Applicant qualifies for streamlined treatment3 This application fits within the presumptive streamlined categories as outlined in 47 CFR § 63.12 and streamlined treatment is requested. Applicant is a rural competitive local exchange service provider with no affiliations. Neither Transferee nor Transferor hold any interest in any other telecommunications provider. The Commission has determined that transactions such as this that involve a licensee that is non-dominant with respect to any service provided, and has a market share in the interstate, interexchange market of less than 10 percent do not raise the potential of competitive harm.4 Additionally, neither Transferee nor Transferor are affiliated with a foreign carrier and neither seeks authority to resell the international or private line services of any affiliated dominant U.S. carrier. 3 47 CFR 63.18(p) 4 See Implementation of Further Streamlining Measures for Domestic Section 214 Authorizations, Report and Order, 17 FCC Rcd 5517 ¶ 29 (2002).
