              ORDER RECOGNIZING CORPORATE NAME CHANGE,
            APPROVING TARIFF, AND ISSUING AMENDED CERTIFICATE

                                 (Issued December 19, 2008)


         On November 26, 2008, Frontier Communications of Iowa, Inc. (Frontier, Inc.),

filed with the Utilities Board (Board) a notice of corporate name change to Frontier

Communications of Iowa, LLC (Frontier, LLC). Also on November 26, 2008, Frontier,

LLC, filed a proposed replacement tariff reflecting the corporate name change and

the exchanges in which Frontier, LLC, intends to provide local service. The proposed

tariff has been identified as TF-08-202.

         Frontier, Inc., states that it is converting from a corporation to a limited liability

company pursuant to Iowa Code § 490A.304. Frontier, Inc., states that the

conversion will be completed on December 31, 2008. Frontier, Inc., asserts that the

conversion does not meet the standards for Board review of company

reorganizations pursuant to 199 IAC chapter 32 and requests that the Board approve

its proposed replacement tariff and issue an amended certificate that reflects the

corporate name change.

issue an amended certificate concurrently with this order reflecting the corporate
