Re: Application to Transfer of Control of Domestic Authorizations Held by Embarq Corporation to CenturyTel, Inc. Under Section 214 of the Communications Act, WC Docket No. 08-238

Dear Ms. Dortch:

In response to the Wireline Competition Bureau’s request, the attached exhibits list the providers that Embarq and CenturyTel have identified through several databases in the markets where they operate in adjacent exchanges. Because each company uses different sources to identify providers, we have separated the lists into two exhibits, one for Embarq and one for CenturyTel. Embarq’s provider list is compiled from five sources: (1) the MediaPrints database; (2) Ported Line Reports dating back to August 2006; (3) UNE LOOP & UNEP Reports; (4) internal wholesale reseller accounts; and (5) cell tower sites. CenturyTel’s provider list is compiled from four sources: (1) wholesale billing accounts; (2) internal marketing data; (3) Port Away reports dating back to December 2006; and (4) data from USAC.

In addition, we have attached an exhibit containing maps of all adjacent exchanges. For your convenience, the two competitor list exhibits reference the map number where each adjacent exchange is located. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Mark D. Schneider Counsel for Embarq Corporation
