Application of Quintelco Inc. filed for Approval of Abandonment or Discontinuance of Interexchange Reseller Services within Pennsylvania; Doc. No. A-310582F2000
Tentative Order By the Commission:
On July 17, 2002, Quintelco, Inc. filed an Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience pursuant to section 1102(a)(2) of the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 1102(a)(2), evidencing Commission approval to discontinue and abandon service as an Interexchange Reseller to the Public in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Quintelco, Inc. is currently certificated to provide telecommunications services as an Interexchange Reseller within Pennsylvania, at Docket No. A-310582. Quintelco's certificate was granted on November 21, 1997. Quintelco proposes to abandon its Certificate of Public Convenience and no longer offer Interexchange Reseller Services in Pennsylvania. Quintelco states that it has not commenced provision of Interexchange Reseller Services in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and consequently has no customers.
No protests have been filed since the Application was filed and no hearings were held. In addition, no motion or petition has been filed in this proceeding. Finally, we note that there are no NXX codes affected by this Application for Abandonment.
Upon full consideration of all matters of record pertaining to the Application, we tentatively find that approval of the Application would not be detrimental to the public interest; Therefore,
It Is Ordered That:
1. The Application of Quintelco, Inc. is hereby tentatively approved as in the public interest.
