Dear Senator Kyl:
Thank you for your letter urging prompt Commission attention to the proposed transfer of
control between CenturyLink and Qwest. I value your perspective on this transaction and r
appreciate your interest in this matter.
Many of the issues associated with this transaction - investment in broadband
infrastructure, extending broadband to rural areas, and promoting economic growth - are among
my highest priorities as Chairman. The Commission takes seriously its evaluation of transfer of
control applications; and you can be assured that it will consider these issues as part of its careful
and deliberate review of this proposed transfer.
Your letter will be included in the record of this proceeding. If I may be of further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
