1990 - 2002
Valor Telecommunications, LLC, is a privately held company that was formed
through acquisition of properties from Verizon Communications. On 8/30/2000, Valor
Telecommunications purchased three study area jurisdictions (GTOK, GTNM, &
CONM) and 197 exchanges in Texas. The study areas and exchanges remain under
price cap regulation. Valor Telecommunications created a holding company called
Valor Telecommunications Southwest (VATC); the Oklahoma study area became an
operating company/study area (VAOK); the New Mexico study areas (VANM &
VANN) remained the same under a new operating company; and the exchanges that
were purchased in Texas created a new operating company and study area
jurisdiction in Texas (VATX). Currently, the operating companies are below the
revenue threshold requirement. However, Valor Telecommunications is an elective
price cap carrier and is required to file the ARMIS 43-05 Report for calendar
year 2002.

2003
On June 30, 2003, Valor Telecommunications, LLC, merged its three
operating companies for Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas into one operating
company, Valor Telecommunications of Texas, LLP (VANT), with four study areas
(VAOK, VANM, VANN, & VATX). However, before the merger, the operating
company, Valor - Texas (VATX), reached the revenue threshold in CY 2001, and
was required to file for the first time the ARMIS 43-01 (Annual Summary) and
ARMIS 43-08 (Operating Data) reports for CY 2003. Therefore, since Valor has
merged all the operating companies into one, all study areas, including Oklahoma and New Mexico, are required to file the ARMIS 43-01 Report and the ARMIS 43-08
Report (includes all data from the three states).
