Federal Communications Commission DA 20-505 DA 20-505 Released: May 12, 2020 WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU SEEKS COMMENT ON REQUEST TO APPROVE MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY ADMINISTRATOR CODE OF CONDUCT AND VOTING TRUST CC Docket No. 95-116 WC Docket Nos. 07-149, 09-109 Comment Date: May 27, 2020 Reply Comment Date: June 11, 2020 By this Public Notice, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) seeks comment from interested parties on a request of iconectiv, LLC (iconectiv) to approve modifications to the Local Number Portability Administrator Code of Conduct and the Voting Trust, filed on April 22, 2020. Letter from John Nakahata, Counsel for iconectiv, LLC, to Kris Monteith, Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau, FCC, WC Docket Nos. 95-116 et al. (filed Apr. 22, 2020), https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filing/10422660325894 (iconectiv Modification Request). As discussed in the iconectiv Modification Request, an affiliate of one of its owners, F.P.-Icon Holdings, L.P. (“FP-Icon” and such affiliate “LMI Holding”) is seeking to indirectly acquire LogMeIn, Inc. (“LogMeIn”). That transaction is separately before the Bureau in WC Docket No. 19-396, and is more fully described therein. See Domestic Section 214 Application Filed for the Transfer of Control of LogMeIn, Inc. to Logan Parent, LLC, WC Docket No. 19-396, Public Notice 35 FCC Rcd 578 (WCB 2020). If that transaction obtains the necessary approvals and closes, LMI Holding would have an indirect controlling interest in LogMeIn, which has four wholly-owned subsidiaries that are interconnected voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers. The four LogMeIn interconnected VoIP providers are: GetGo Communications, LLC (blanket domestic Section 214 authority and international Section 214 authority granted in FCC File No. ITC-214-20130118-00015); Grasshopper Group, LLC (blanket domestic Section 214 authority and international Section 214 authority granted in FCC File No. ITC-214-20090916-00417); LogMeIn Audio, LLC (blanket domestic Section 214 authority and international Section 214 authority granted in FCC File No. ITC-214-20090113-00015); Jive Communications, Inc. (blanket domestic Section 214 authority and international Section 214 authority granted in FCC File No. ITC-214-20130802-00209). See iconectiv Modification Request at 1, n.2. To ensure that it continues to meet the neutrality requirements for the Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA), iconectiv proposes certain modifications to the Code of Conduct and the Voting Trust in the iconectiv Modification Request, which, if approved, would take effect if and when the proposed transaction closes. Both the LNPA Code of Conduct and the Voting Trust, in addition to the Commission’s rules and orders, play important roles in ensuring iconectiv’s neutrality as the LNPA.
