Re:       Notice of Pro Forma Assignment of a Receive-Only Earth Station
          Registration (Call Sign E100059) to Consolidated Communications
          Enterprise Services, Inc.

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Consolidated Communications Enterprise Services, Inc. (“CCES”), pursuant to 47 C.F.R.
§ 63.24(f), notifies the Commission of a pro forma intra-company transaction (the “Pro
Forma Transaction”) that resulted in pro forma assignment1 of the receive-only satellite
earth station registration (the “Registration”), Call Sign E110059, of SureWest TeleVideo
(“SureWest-TV”) to CCES. The Pro Forma Transaction, along with certain other pro forma
intra-company changes, were undertaken to simply the corporate structure and reduce
the reporting and accounting burdens of the company and provide operational efficien-
cies.

Effective April 15, 2016, SureWest-TV merged with and into CCES, whereupon CCES was
the surviving entity and the separate existence of SureWest-TV ceased (the “Consolida-
tion”). As a result of the Consolidation, the Registration is now held by CCES. Since
SureWest-TV and CCES had the same direct owner at the time of the Consolidation, the
Consolidation was pro forma in nature.

         As used in this Notification, “assignment” only reflects the use of the term in the Commis-
sion’s rules and does not reflect that the Pro Forma Transaction resulted in an “assignment” for
purposes of corporate or contract law.
