Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 2 II. BACKGROUND A. The Act 2. Section 254(e) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), provides that “only an eligible telecommunications carrier designated under section 214(e) shall be eligible to receive specific federal universal service support.” 2 Pursuant to section 214(e)(1)(A) and (B), a common carrier designated as an ETC must offer the services supported by the federal universal service support mechanisms either using its own facilities or a combination of its own facilities and resale of another carrier’s services throughout its designated service area and must advertise the availability and charges for those services. 3 3. Section 214(e)(2) of the Act gives state commissions the primary responsibility for designating ETCs in their states. 4 Section 214(e)(6) directs the Federal Communications Commission (Commission), upon request, to designate as an ETC “a common carrier providing telephone exchange service and exchange access that is not subject to the jurisdiction of a state commission.” 5 The Commission has established a framework for determining whether a state commission or the Commission itself has jurisdiction to designate ETCs on Tribal lands. 6 First, a carrier serving Tribal lands must petition the FCC for a determination on whether the state has jurisdiction over the carrier. 7 The Commission then determines whether the carrier is subject to the jurisdiction of a state commission or whether it is subject to a Tribal authority given the Tribal interests involved. In the latter case, the Commission has jurisdiction to designate the carrier as an ETC 8 and will proceed to consider the merits of the carrier’s petition for designation. 9 4. Under section 214(e)(6), the Commission may, with respect to an area served by a rural telephone company, and shall, in all other cases, designate more than one common carrier as an ETC for a designated service area, consistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity, so long as the requesting carrier meets the requirements of section 214(e)(1). 10 Before designating an additional ETC for an area served by a rural telephone company, the Commission must determine that the designation is in the public interest. 11 The Bureau has delegated authority to consider ETC designation requests. 2 47 U.S.C. § 254(e). 3 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1)(A), (B). 4 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(2). 5 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(6). 6 See Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Promoting Deployment and Subscribership in Unserved and Underserved Areas, Including Tribal and Insular Areas; Smith Bagley, Inc., Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Telephone Authority, Western Wireless Corporation, Wyoming, Cellco Partnership d/b/a/ Bell Atlantic Mobile, Inc., Petitions for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier and for Related Waivers to Provide Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45, Twelfth Report and Order, Memorandum Opinion and Order, and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 15 FCC Rcd at 12265-69, paras. 115-27 (2000) (Twelfth Report and Order), recon. sub nom.

Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 3 B. Commission Requirements for ETC Designation 5. A petitioner seeking ETC designation from the Commission must file a petition providing the following: (1) a certification and brief statement of supporting facts demonstrating that the petitioner is not subject to the jurisdiction of a state commission; (2) a certification that the petitioner offers all services designated for support by the Commission pursuant to section 254(c) of the Act; (3) a certification that the petitioner offers the supported services either using its own facilities or a combination of its own facilities and resale of another carrier’s services; (4) a description of how the petitioner advertises the availability of the supported services and the charges therefor using media of general distribution; (5) if the petitioner is not a rural telephone company, a detailed description of the geographic service area for which it requests to be designated as an ETC from the Commission; and (6) a certification that neither the petitioner, nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits pursuant to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. 12 6. In addition, the Commission’s rules require that in order to be designated as an ETC, an applicant must: (1) certify that it will comply with the service requirements applicable to the support that it receives; (2) demonstrate its ability to remain functional in emergency situations; (3) demonstrate that it will satisfy applicable consumer protection and service quality standards; (4) demonstrate that it is financially and technically capable of providing the Lifeline service; and (5) submit information describing the terms and conditions of any voice telephony plans offered to Lifeline subscribers, including details on the number of minutes provided as part of the plan, additional charges, if any, for toll calls, and rates for each such plan. 13 7. Prior to designating an ETC pursuant to section 214(e)(6), the Commission must determine whether such designation is in the public interest. 14 In determining the public interest, the Commission historically has considered the benefits of increased consumer choice and the unique advantages and disadvantages of the applicant’s service offering. 15 C. Federal Universal Service Lifeline Support 8. The federal universal service Lifeline program is designed to reduce the monthly cost of telecommunications service for qualifying consumers. The Lifeline program reimburses ETCs for providing qualifying low-income consumers with discounts of $9.25 off of the monthly cost of their 12 See Procedures for FCC Designation of Eligible Telecommunications Carriers Pursuant to Section 214(e)(6) of the Communications Act, Public Notice, 12 FCC Rcd 22947, 22948-49, paras. 1-5 (1997) (Section 214(e)(6) Public Notice); but see Lifeline and Link Up Reform and Modernization, WC Docket Nos. 11-42 et al., Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 27 FCC Rcd 6656, 6813, para. 368 (2012) (adopting a blanket forbearance of the facilities requirement of section 214(e)(1)(A) for non-facilities based carriers that seek limited ETC designation to participate in the Lifeline program) (Lifeline Reform Order). 13 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a). 14 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(6); 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(b); see also Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 95-45, Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd 6371, 6388-96, paras. 40-57 (2005) (ETC Designation Order); Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Virginia Cellular, LLC Petition for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier in Virginia, CC Docket No. 96-45, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 1563, 1575, para. 27 (2005); Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Highland Cellular, Inc.

Petitions 9. Blue Wireless Petition. Blue Wireless filed the instant petition seeking designation as an ETC, eligible to receive universal service Lifeline support for its service area in the state of New York, including the Tribal lands of the Allegany Indian Reservation and the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. 18 Blue Wireless states that it is a facilities-based, regional commercial mobile radio service (CMRS). 19 Blue Wireless maintains that it satisfies all the statutory and regulatory requirements for designation as a ETC. 20 10. SI Wireless Petition. In its petition, SI Wireless seeks designation as an ETC, eligible to receive universal service Lifeline support for its licensed service area in Tennessee. 21 SI Wireless states that it is a facilities-based CMRS provider. 22 It maintains that it satisfies all the statutory and regulatory requirements for designation as a limited ETC in these areas. 23 III. DISCUSSION 11. As discussed below, we find that Blue Wireless and SI Wireless, both facilities-based providers, have satisfied the Commission’s requirements to be designated as limited ETCs, eligible only to receive Lifeline support pursuant to the terms of this order. The limited ETC designations are conditioned on petitioners’ compliance with the Commission’s rules and the representations and commitments made in their petitions, as set forth in this order. A. Commission Authority to Perform the ETC Designations 12. An applicant seeking designation from the Commission must provide a certification and a brief statement of supporting facts demonstrating that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of a state commission. 24 Blue Wireless seeks ETC designation to service Lifeline-eligible customers in the state of 16 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.403(a)(1). 17 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.403(a)(2). 18 See Blue Wireless Petition at 4; Wireline Competition Bureau Seeks Comment on Petitions for Designation as Low-Income Eligible Telecommunications Carriers by Sage Telecom, Blue Wireless, and iWireless, WC Docket No. 09-197, Public Notice, DA 13-1901 (rel.

Oct. 17, 2013) (extending all comment deadlines between October 7- 16, 2013, by 16 days, and reply dates by a corresponding period). No comments or reply comments were filed in response to the petition. 19 See Blue Wireless Petition at 2. 20 See id. at 5. 21 See SI Wireless Petition at 1; see also Wireline Competition Bureau Seeks Comment on Petition for Designation as a Low-Income Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, WC Docket No. 09-197, Public Notice, DA 12-1327 (rel. Aug. 10, 2012). 22 See SI Wireless Petition at 3. 23 See id. at 8. 24 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(6); see also Section 214(e)(6) Public Notice, 12 FCC Rcd at 22948, para. 1. Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 5 New York, including the Allegany Indian Reservation and the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. 25 Its petition includes an affirmative statement for the New York Department of Public Service (New York Commission) providing that the New York Commission lacks authority to perform ETC designations for wireless carriers. 26 Blue Wireless states that it contemporaneously served the Tribal government of the Allegany Indian Reservation and the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation with its petition. 27 Additionally, no commission or authority contested this Commission’s authority to consider Blue Wireless’ petition. 28 Therefore, we conclude that the Commission may consider the petition on its merits. 13. In its petition, SI Wireless includes a statement of supporting facts and a certification from the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (Tennessee Commission), providing that the state commission lacks jurisdiction to perform the requested ETC designation and that the Commission has authority to consider the petition under section 214(e)(6) of the Act. 29 Thus, we find that SI Wireless has demonstrated that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Tennessee Commission and this Commission has authority to perform the requested ETC designation. B. Eligibility Requirements 14. Offering the Services Designated for Support. Applicants for ETC designation must certify that they offer all of the services designated for support by the Commission pursuant to section 254(c) of the Act. 30 The petitioners state that they provide the services and functionalities of section 254(c) as enumerated in section 54.101(a) of the Commission’s rules throughout their licensed service areas. 31 The petitioners have demonstrated through their filings and certifications that they now offer or will offer upon designation as a limited ETC, the voice telephony services supported by the Lifeline program. 32 15. Offering the Supported Services Using a Carrier’s Own Facilities. Applicants for ETC designation must certify that they will offer the supported services either using their own facilities or a combination of their own facilities and the resale of another carrier’s services. 33 Blue Wireless states that it is a facilities-based wireless telecommunications carrier with its own switching, cell sites, associated telecommunications facilities throughout its proposed service area and it will use its own network 25 See Blue Wireless Petition at 2-4. Blue Wireless states that the its licensed service area includes the Allegany Indian Reservation and the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation (Tribal Areas), which are federally designated Tribal lands under Lifeline rule and controlled by the Seneca Nation Tribe. See id. at 4. 26 See Blue Wireless Petition at 4, Exh. B. 27 See id. at 4; see also 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(6); 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(c). 28 See supra note 18. 29 See SI Wireless Petition at 5-6, Exh. A. 30 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1)(A); Section 214(e)(6) Public Notice, 12 FCC Rcd at 22948, para. 2. 31 Specifically, petitioners certify that they provide voice telephony services, which include: (i) voice grade access to the public switched telephone network, (ii) local usage; (iii) access to emergency services; and (iv) toll limitation for qualifying Low-Income Consumers. See SI Petition at 9-11; see Blue Wireless Petition at 7-8 (noting that its typical service offerings do not distinguish between toll and non-toll calls). In the Lifeline Reform Order, the Commission adopted rules providing that toll limitation service is no longer necessary for any Lifeline service that does not distinguish between toll and non-toll calls in the pricing of service. See Lifeline Reform Order, 27 FCC Rcd at 6679, para. 49; see also 47 C.F.R. § 54.401. 32 See Blue Wireless Petition at 7; SI Wireless Petition at 9-11. 33 See Section 214(e)(6) Public Notice, 12 FCC Rcd at 22949; see also 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1)(A); Petition of TracFone Wireless, Inc. for Forbearance from 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1)(A) and 47 C.F.R. § 54.201(i), CC Docket No. 96-45, Order, 20 FCC Rcd 15095 (2005) (TracFone Forbearance Order). Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 6 facilities to provide Lifeline service in the requested service area. 34 SI Wireless states that it will provide the supported services through a combination of its own facilities (its existing cellular network infrastructure consisting of switching, trucking, cell sites and network equipment) and resale. 35 Petitioners have demonstrated through their filings and certifications that they offer, or will offer upon designation as an ETC, the supported service using either their own facilities or a combination of their own facilities and resale of another carrier’s services. 16. Advertising Supported Services. Applicants for ETC designation must advertise the availability of the supported services and the charges thereof using media of general distribution and provide a description of how they will do so. 36 Additionally, Commission rules require ETCs to explain in their marketing materials that 1) Lifeline service is a government benefit, 2) the individual must be eligible to receive the benefit, and 3) the individual may receive no more than one benefit at a time from the program. 37 The petitioners have committed to advertise the availability of the supported services using media of general distribution. 38 Petitioners have also committed to advertising and promoting the availability of Lifeline services in a manner reasonably designed to reach those likely to qualify for Lifeline. 39 Petitioners have demonstrated their commitment to comply with the Commission rules regarding marketing of Lifeline service. C. Additional Obligations of Federally Designated ETCs 17. Compliance with Applicable Service Requirements. Consistent with the Commission’s rules, Petitioners have certified that they will comply with all service requirements applicable to the support they receive. 40 Petitioners have demonstrated their commitment to comply with the Commission’s Lifeline rules, specifically the rules regarding consumer enrollment and certification of eligibility. 18. Ability to Remain Functional in Emergency Situations. Applicants for ETC designation must demonstrate their ability to remain functional in emergency situations. 41 Blue Wireless states that it has the ability to remain functional in emergency situations, has back-up power sufficient to ensure functionality in the designated service area without an external power source, is able to re-route traffic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. 42 We find that Blue Wireless has demonstrated its ability to remain function in emergency situations. 19. SI Wireless states that it will be able to remain functional in emergency situations. 43 Specifically, SI Wireless states that it will 1) have adequate amounts of backup power to ensure functionality without an external power source, 2) be able to reroute traffic between switch and hub and 34 See Blue Wireless Petition at 8. 35 See SI Wireless Petition at 8-9. 36 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1)(B); Section 214(e)(6) Public Notice, 12 FCC Rcd at 22949, para. 4. 37 See Lifeline Reform Order, 27 FCC Rcd at 6776-6780, paras. 274-77; 47 C.F.R. § 54.405. 38 See Blue Wireless Petition at 8; SI Wireless Petition at 11. 39 See Blue Wireless Petition at 9; SI Wireless Petition at 11. 40 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(1)(i); Blue Wireless Petition at 9-10; Blue Wireless Supplement at Att. 3; SI Wireless Petition at 12. 41 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(2). 42 See Blue Wireless Petition at 10. 43 See SI Wireless Petition at 12-14. Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 7 3) be capable of managing traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. 44 We find that SI Wireless has demonstrated its ability to remain functional in emergency situations. 20. Satisfaction of Applicable Consumer Protection and Service Quality Standards. Applicants for ETC designation must demonstrate that they will satisfy applicable consumer protection and service quality standards. 45 The petitioners have committed to providing applicable consumer protection and service quality standards by committing to abide by the current CTIA Consumer Code for Wireless Service as well as any subsequent revisions and amendments. 46 21. Financial and Technical Capability. Applicants for ETC designation must demonstrate that they are financially and technically capable of providing Lifeline supported services. 47 Blue Wireless states that it has provided service since 2004 and has a long history of providing service to non-Lifeline consumers. 48 It states that it does not intend to rely exclusively on Universal Service Fund (USF) disbursements and that it receives revenue from several non-USF sources. 49 Blue Wireless also states that it has not been subject to any Commission enforcement action or ETC revocation proceedings in any state. 50 As a result, we find that Blue Wireless is financially and technically capable of providing Lifeline supported services. 22. SI Wireless states that it is a facilities-based wireless carrier formed in 2009 by a partnership of rural independent telephone companies. 51 SI Wireless states that it does not intend to rely exclusively on USF disbursements to operate its business, and it has access to a line of credit and resources of private investors in other to operate its business on a daily basis. 52 SI Wireless states that it has not been subject to enforcement action at the Commission or in any state and has not had any of its ETC designations revoked. 53 We find that SI Wireless is financially and technically capable of providing Lifeline supported services. 23. Information Regarding the Terms and Conditions of Lifeline Plans. Applicants for ETC designation must submit information regarding the terms and conditions of any voice telephony plans they offer to Lifeline subscribers. 54 Blue Wireless states that its Lifeline plan offerings include a voice plan for $9.25 (free to the consumer after application of the discount) which includes 500 voice minutes and 500 text messages. 55 Blue Wireless states that its Lifeline customers will also have access to a variety of other standard features at no additional charge, including voicemail, caller identification and call- waiting services. 56 Additionally, it states that in the Tribal areas, it will make available its unlimited talk, 44 See id. 45 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(3). 46 See Blue Wireless Petition at 10; SI Wireless Petition at 14; CTIA, Consumer Code for Wireless Service, http://files.ctia.org/pdf/ConsumerCode.pdf (last visited Nov. 17, 2014). 47 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(4); see also Lifeline Reform Order, 27 FCC Rcd at 6818, para. 387. 48 See Blue Wireless Petition at 11. 49 See id. 50 See id. 51 See SI Wireless at 15. 52 See id. 53 See id. at 16. 54 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(5). 55 See Blue Wireless Petition at 19. 56 See id. at 20. Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 8 text and data plan at no charge to eligible Tribal land residents. 57 24. SI Wireless states it allows Lifeline subscribers to apply the Lifeline discount to all of the plans that it offers. 58 SI Wireless provides that its least expensive service plan is a voice plan for $29.99, which includes unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes and 75 weekday mobile-to-landline minutes per month. 59 SI Wireless represents that its Lifeline customers will also have access to a variety of other standard features at no additional charge, including voicemail, caller identification and call-waiting services. 60 25. Anti-Drug Abuse Act Certification. Applicants for ETC designation must provide a certification that neither the petitioner nor any party to the application is subject to denial of federal benefits pursuant to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. 61 The petitioners have provided a certification consistent with the requirements of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. 62 Petitioner’s certification satisfies the requirements of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as codified in sections 1.2001–1.2003 of the Commission’s rules. D. Public Interest Analysis 26. Prior to designating an ETC, the Commission must determine whether such a designation is in the public interest. 63 Among other things, Blue Wireless maintains that designating it as an ETC is in the public interest because it has a record of excellent customer satisfaction and expansion of its service offerings will allow it to continue to serve the needs of individuals in its local area, the Buffalo/Lake Erie region. 64 Blue Wireless notes that it completed a contract to provide free Wi-Fi for the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority, and in conjunction with the installation of a Wi-Fi hot spot in the facility, is launching a new $25 per month service plan to residents that includes free, secure access to all of its Wi-Fi hotspots, plus nationwide unlimited talk, text and 100 MB of nationwide high speed data. 65 Blue Wireless anticipates leveraging its Lifeline services with other creative offerings in order to provide service alternatives for low-income consumers in its service area. 66 We find that Blue Wireless’ service offerings will provide a variety of benefits to Lifeline-eligible consumers, including increased consumer choice, high-quality service, and mobility. 67 27. SI Wireless maintains that designating it as an ETC will advance the public interest in its requested service area. 68 SI Wireless states that its designation will bring improved coverage and service quality, including to areas that are underserved by wireless telephone facilities. 69 It states that it will 57 See id. 58 See SI Wireless Petition at Exh.

Federal Communications Commission DA 14-1722 9 provide additional consumer choice and a potential solution to health and safety risks associated with living in rural areas. 70 We find that SI Wireless’ service offerings will provide a variety of benefits to Lifeline-eligible consumers, including increased consumer choice, diverse service offerings, high-quality service, and mobility. 28. Additionally, in order to promote public safety, and safeguard against waste, fraud and abuse in the Lifeline program, we require the petitioners to comply with certain conditions. Petitioners’ ETC designation are conditioned on its compliance with the representations and commitments made in its petition , as discussed above, as well as the Commission’s rules, including those adopted by the Commission in the Lifeline Reform Order. 71 Subject to the above-stated conditions, we find that designating petitioners as limited ETCs, eligible only to receive Lifeline support, is in the public interest. E. Designated Service Areas 29. Based on the record before us, we conditionally designate Blue Wireless as a limited ETC eligible only for Lifeline support in its licensed service area in the state of New York, including its licensed service area of the Tribal lands of the Allegany Indian Reservation and Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, as listed in Appendix A. 30. Based on the record before us, we also conditionally designate SI Wireless as a limited ETC, eligible only for Lifeline support in its licensed service area in the state of Tennessee, as listed in Appendix B. F. Regulatory Oversight 31. Under section 254(e) of the Act, the petitioners are required to use the specific universal service support they receive “only for the provision, maintenance, and upgrading of facilities and services for which the support is intended.” 72 An ETC receiving Lifeline support uses that support as intended when it reduces the price of its telecommunications services by the amount of the support for the eligible consumer. 73 In providing Lifeline services pursuant to the conditional ETC designations granted herein, the petitioners must comply with the measures described in petitions and the Commission’s rules and orders. We find that reliance on petitioners’ commitments to meet these requirements is reasonable and consistent with the public interest and the Act. We conclude that these additional reporting requirements will further the Commission’s goal of ensuring that petitioners satisfy their obligations under section 214(e) of the Act to provide the services supported by the Lifeline program throughout their designated service areas. 32. Finally, we note that the Commission may institute an inquiry on its own motion to examine each of the petitioners’ records and documentation to ensure that the universal service support they receive is being used for the purpose for which it was intended. 74 Each of the petitioners is required to provide such records and documentation to the Commission or USAC upon request. We further emphasize that, if either petitioner fails to fulfill the requirements of the Act, the Commission’s rules, or the terms of this order after it begins receiving universal service support, the Commission may exercise its 70 Id. at 22. 71 See generally Lifeline Reform Order. 72 47 U.S.C. § 254(e). 73 Petition of TracFone Wireless, Inc. for Forbearance from 47 UCS §214(e)(1)(A) and 47 CFR §54.201(i), CC Docket No. 96-45, Order, 20 FCC Rcd 15095, 15105, para. 26 (2005) (TracFone Forbearance Order). 74 47 U.S.C. §§ 220, 403.
