ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA OF COMMISSION MEETING
Telecommunications
On May 4, 2010, the Commission received a complaint from Sprint Communications Company, LP (Sprint) against Native American Telecom, LLC (NAT), in which Sprint seeks: 1) a determination that the Public Utilities Commission (Commission) has the sole authority to regulate Sprint's intrastate interexchange services and that NAT lacks authority to bill Sprint for switched access services without a Certificate of Authority and valid tariff on file with the Commission; 2) a declaration that because the Commission has the sole authority over Sprint's intrastate interexchange services, the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Utility Authority is without jurisdiction over Sprint; 3) a determination that NAT must repay Sprint the amounts it inadvertently paid NAT for unauthorized and illegal switched access charges. On April 11, 2012, On December 11, 2012, Sprint filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. On January 14, 2013, NAT filed its response to Sprint's motion. On February 1, 2013, ATT filed its Response in Support of Sprint. On February 4, 2013, SDN filed its response to Sprint's motion. On February 20, 2013, Sprint filed its Reply Memorandum.

TODAY, shall the Commission grant NAT's continuance of hearing request? OR, shall the Commission hear argument on Sprint's Motion for Summary Judgment?
