 On  September  20,  2005,  John  Toepfer  (“  Toepfer”)  and  Telecom  Consultants,  Inc.,  (“  TCI”)  (collectively,  “Joint  Applicants”),  filed  an  application,  pursuant  to  section  63.04  of  the 
 Commission’s  rules,  1  requesting  approval  to  transfer  control  of  TCI  to  Toepfer. 
 Applicants  assert  that  this  transaction  is  entitled  to  presumptive  streamlined  treatment  under  section  63.03(  b)(  2)(  i)  of  the  Commission’s  rules  because  immediately  following  the 
 proposed  transaction:  (1)  Toepfer  will  have  a  market  share  in  the  interstate,  interexchange  market  of  less  than  ten  percent  (10%);  (2)  Toepfer  will  provide  competitive  telephone  exchange 
 services  or  exchange  access  services  in  geographic  areas  served  by  a  dominant  local  exchange  carrier  that  is  not  a  party  to  the  transaction;  and  (3)  neither  of  the  Joint  Applicants  is  dominant 
 with  respect  to  any  service.  2 
 TCI,  a  California  corporation,  is  a  non-  dominant  interexchange  and  competitive  local  exchange  carrier  operating  in  California,  providing  service  to  small  and  medium  size  business 
 customers.  The  following  individuals,  both  U.  S.  citizens,  hold  a  ten  percent  (10%)  or  great  interest  in  TCI:  John  Toepfer  (20%);  and  Alice  J.  Burk  (80%).  Toepfer  is  an  individual  and  a 
 citizen  of  the  United  States. 
 Pursuant  to  an  agreement  between  the  existing  majority  shareholder  of  TCI  and  Toepfer,  Toepfer,  who  is  the  chief  executive  officer  of  TCI,  will  acquire  additional  shares  in  TCI,
