   Adopted: March 18, 2010 Released: March 18, 2010

   By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into
       between the Enforcement Bureau and Comtel Telcom Assets LP ("Comtel").
       The Consent Decree terminates an investigation by the Bureau of
       Comtel's compliance with Section 254(d) of the Communications Act of
       1934, as amended, and section 54.706 of the Commission's Rules,
       relating to payment of Universal Service Fund contributions.

    2. The Bureau and Comtel have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree
       that resolve this investigation. A copy of the Consent Decree is
       attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

    3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
       facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
       adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.

    4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
       conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material
       questions of fact as to whether Comtel possesses the basic
       qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or
       obtain any Commission license or authorization.

    5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Act,
       and Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's Rules, the Consent
       Decree attached to this Order IS ADOPTED.

    6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS
       TERMINATED.

    7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order and Consent Decree
       shall be sent by First Class United States Mail to James H. Lister,
       Esq., Birch Horton Bittner & Cherot, 1155 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.,
