The Federal Communications Commission’s (Commission) 2011 USF/ICC Transformation Order comprehensively reformed and modernized the high-cost program within the universal service fund and the intercarrier compensation (ICC) system to support networks capable of providing voice and broadband services.1 Among other actions taken in that Order, the Commission adopted a framework, known as the Connect America Fund (CAF), to provide ongoing support to areas served by price cap carriers while maintaining existing support mechanisms for rate-of-return carriers, with some modifications. The goals of the CAF are to: “(1) preserve and advance universal availability of voice service; (2) ensure universal availability of modern networks capable of providing voice and broadband service to homes, businesses, and community anchor institutions; (3) ensure universal availability of modern networks capable of providing mobile voice and broadband service where Americans live, work, and travel; (4) ensure that rates are reasonably comparable in all regions of the nation, for voice as well as broadband services; and (5) minimize the universal service contribution burden on consumers and businesses.”2 This report provides a summary of the actions the Commission and the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) have taken to implement the universal service and ICC reforms adopted in 2011 and information regarding the impact of those reforms on eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) that are incumbent telecommunications carriers.3 For example, since reforms were adopted, over $438 million in funds have been made available to support construction of broadband-capable infrastructure to more than 637,000 previously unserved locations and over 1.6 million people. In addition, between 2010 and 2012, fixed broadband service subscriptions increased by approximately 63 percent for incumbent ETCs. Below, we describe in detail the specific modifications adopted, the status of Bureau implementation, and the impact of these modifications.4 Connect America Phase I. Phase I of the Connect America Fund implementation consisted primarily of two parts. First, the Commission froze support under existing high-cost support mechanisms for price cap carriers and their rate-of-return affiliates and required that frozen support during Phase I be used to build and operate broadband-capable networks used to offer the provider’s own retail broadband 1 See Connect America Fund; A National Broadband Plan for Our Future; Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers; High-Cost Universal Service Support; Developing a Unified Intercarrier Compensation Regime; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Lifeline and Link-Up; Universal Service Reform—Mobility Fund; WC Docket Nos. 10-90, 07-135, 05-337, 03-109, CC Docket Nos. 01-92, 96-45, GN Docket No. 09-51, WT Docket No. 10-208, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 26 FCC 17663 (2011) (USF/ICC Transformation Order and/or FNPRM); pets. for review pending sub nom.

The Commission initially adopted a November 18, 2013 deadline for the report. The deadline subsequently was extended to March 18, 2014 because annual reports filed by ETCs were not due until October 31, 2013. See Wireline Competition Bureau Announces Extension for Report on Progress of Universal Service Reforms, WC Docket No. 10-90, Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 14748 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2013). 4 This report generally is based on information available to Bureau staff at the end of February 2014.. In those cases where 2013 data is available, it is included. This report does not include information on competitive ETCs (CETCs), whose support is being phased down pursuant to the USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17830, para. 513, nor does it address Mobility Fund Phase I or Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I. See id. at 17773, 17819, paras. 301, 481. 2 service in areas substantially unserved by an unsubsidized competitor.5 Second, to spur the deployment of broadband-capable infrastructure to unserved locations while the Bureau developed the forward- looking cost model to calculate available support in Phase II, the Commission decided to offer additional, incremental support to price cap carriers.6 In the first round of Connect America Phase I, support to extend broadband-capable infrastructure was made available for areas lacking Internet access with speeds of at least 768 kbps downstream/200 kbps upstream. In July 2012, price cap carriers elected nearly $115 million in Phase I incremental support, committing to bring broadband-capable infrastructure to nearly 400,000 previously unserved Americans by 2015.7 A map of states where carriers plan to use first round Phase I funding is available at http://www.fcc.gov/maps/connect-america-fund-caf-phase-i. In May 2013, the Commission adopted rules for a second round of Connect America Phase I incremental support.8 The Commission expanded the eligible locations to include areas lacking Internet access with 3 Mbps downstream and 768 kbps upstream9 and concluded that parties could challenge whether a location was in fact served by an existing provider and thus ineligible for support.10 Over 80 interested parties participated in the Phase I challenge process, either challenging the status of a block as shown on the National Broadband Map or responding to the challenge of another party.11 On January 10, 2014, the Bureau issued an Order adjudicating these challenges.12 As of March 14, 2014, the Bureau had authorized nearly $324 million in second round Phase I support for deployment of broadband-capable infrastructure to over 1.2 million Americans.13 Included in this 1.2 million are 5 Id. at 17712, para. 128; see also 47 C.F.R. § 54.313(c). A price cap carrier recipient of frozen support must certify that an increasing portion of its frozen support was used to build and operate broadband-capable networks used to offer the provider’s own retail broadband service in areas substantially unserved by an unsubsidized competitor. Recipients must certify that 1/3 of frozen support received in 2013 was used for such purposes, increasing to 2/3 of frozen support in 2014, and all frozen support in 2015 and beyond. However, the use of frozen support is not limited to new capital investment occurring in 2013 and beyond. In calculating the amount of frozen support used to build and operate such networks, carriers are permitted to include the funds used to maintain and operate existing networks in areas substantially unserved by an unsubsidized competitor, as well as funds used to recover the costs of past network upgrades to extend broadband-capable networks in areas substantially unserved by an unsubsidized competitor.

In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission determined that it would provide support in Phase II through a combination of “a new forward-looking model of the cost of constructing modern multi-purpose networks” and a competitive bidding process.16 Using the cost model to “estimate the support necessary to serve areas where costs are above a specified benchmark, but below a second ‘extremely high-cost’ benchmark,” the Commission will offer each price cap carrier “a model-derived support amount in exchange for a commitment to serve all locations in its service territory in a state that, based on the model, fall within the high-cost range and are not served by an competing, unsubsidized provider.”17 The Commission delegated to the Bureau “the task of selecting a specific engineering cost model and associated inputs that meet the criteria specified” by the Commission.18 The Commission also directed the Bureau to consider “whether the model ultimately adopted adequately accounts for the costs faced by carriers serving [areas outside of the United States].”19 On April 22, 2013, the Bureau adopted a platform for the Connect America Cost Model (CACM or CAM), which is the basic framework for the model consisting of key assumptions about the design of the network and network engineering, and also addressing certain framework issues relating to inputs.20 In December 2013, the Bureau announced the latest version of the Connect America Cost Model, v4.0, and sought comment on adopting the default inputs in v4.0 for implementation in Phase II.21 Once the Bureau finalizes the model inputs, it expects to commence the Phase II challenge process to determine the final list of Census blocks eligible for the offer of model-based support.22 In addition to its work on the Connect America Cost Model, the Bureau has taken further actions to implement Phase II. On May 16, 2013, the Bureau released the Phase II Challenge Process Order implementing the Commission’s requirement that Phase II provide an opportunity for interested parties to challenge the determination of whether an area is served by an unsubsidized competitor, and thus 16 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17725, para. 156. 17 Id. For all states for which price cap carriers decline to make the service commitment, the Commission will award ongoing support through a competitive process. 18 Id. at 17725, para. 157; see also id. at 17737, para. 192. 19 Id. at 17737, para. 193. These “non-contiguous areas” are Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Marianas Islands. See id. 20 See Connect America Fund; High-Cost Universal Service Support, WC Docket Nos. 10-90, 05-337, Report and Order, 28 FCC 5301 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2013). 21 Wireline Competition Bureau Announces Availability of Version 4.0 of the Connect America Fund Phase II Cost Model and Seeks Comment on Adopting Current Default Inputs in Final Version of Model, WC Docket No. 10-90, Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 16339 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2013). 22 As noted above, the state-level commitment process gives a price cap carrier an opportunity to accept Phase II funding in exchange for a commitment to deploy voice and broadband service meeting specified requirements to all high-cost locations, excluding extremely high-cost locations as determined by the Connect America Cost Model, in its service territory for a given state. See USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17673, para. 24. 7 ineligible for the offer of model-based Phase II support.23 This Order established a process for filing challenges and the format in which challenges must be made.24 On October 31, 2013, the Bureau released the Phase II Service Obligations Order, which specified performance metrics for price cap carriers accepting Phase II model-based support in exchange for a state-level commitment.25 The Bureau adopted requirements for latency, usage allowance, and pricing for such carriers.26 The Bureau also articulated how those requirements would apply to determine whether an area would be considered to be served by an unsubsidized competitor.27 Phase Out of Safety Net Additive. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission decided to phase out a high-cost universal service support mechanism known as the Safety Net Additive (SNA) because it was generally providing support for carriers based on line loss rather than new investment.28 The Commission determined that carriers that qualified for SNA support due to a 14 percent or greater increase in investment over the prior year would continue to receive support, while carriers qualifying for SNA based on line loss would have their SNA support eliminated in 2013.29 Acting Chairwoman Clyburn circulated an order to the other Commissioners further addressing the SNA rules. 23 Connect America Fund, WC Docket No. 10-90, Report and Order, 28 FCC Rcd 7211 (Wireline Comp.

In 2001, the Commission created SNA to provide further support to incumbent carriers that made significant investment in their infrastructure. The rule provides additional support for the qualifying year and four subsequent years.

The Commission adopted a benchmarking rule to place limits on capital and operating expenses eligible for reimbursement through high-cost loop support (HCLS) and redistribute available HCLS to carriers that stay within these limits.30 The Bureau initially implemented this rule in April 2012.31 On February 27, 2013, the Commission reconsidered some aspects of the rule, directing the Bureau to develop a regression methodology to generate a single total loop cost cap for each study area beginning in 2014 and modify the phase-in of the benchmarks for 2013 to provide carriers additional time to adjust to the changes.32 On July 26, 2013, the Bureau adopted an order maintaining the 2013 regression methodology for 2014 to provide predictability for carriers while the Bureau incorporates new geographic data and obtains public input on the development of the single cap.33 The order also exempts Alaska from the benchmark rule for 2014.34 Chairman Wheeler has circulated to his fellow Commissioners an order that would eliminate the benchmarking rule. Figure 5 below demonstrates that from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, there were 876 study areas affected by the partial phase-in of the benchmarking rule. One hundred and seven study areas saw a decrease in support of approximately $33 million, while 769 other study areas saw an increase of approximately $33 million. Table A2 of the Appendix to this report shows the estimated difference of HCLS support for each study area due to the benchmark rule.

In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission adopted a new rule establishing a presumptive per-line cap of $250 per month on total high-cost universal service support, exclusive of Connect America support associated with intercarrier compensation reform, for all ETCs, including incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs).36 The Commission concluded that support in excess of that amount should not be provided without further justification.37 The following table shows those study areas where incumbent carrier support was affected by the $250 per-line, per-month cap in 2013.

To date, all but one of those petitions have been addressed.41 Study Area Boundary Collection. In November 2012, the Bureau adopted an order requiring incumbent LECs to submit study area boundary data necessary to implement universal service reforms, including elimination of support where an unsubsidized competitor offers voice and broadband service that 100 percent overlaps an incumbent LEC’s study area.42 In December 2013, the Bureau published a study area boundary map and requested that carriers resolve overlaps and submit and certify revised boundary data no later than January 13, 2014.43 Shortly thereafter, an industry petition was filed (Continued from previous page) broadband.

Section 254(b) of the Act requires that “[c]onsumers in all regions of the Nation . . . should have access to telecommunications and information services . . . that are available at rates that are reasonably comparable to rates charged for similar services in urban areas.”46 In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission adopted a rule to limit high-cost support where end- user rates do not meet an urban rate floor representing the national average of local rates plus such state regulated fees.47 To the extent a carrier’s end-user rates for local service do not meet the rate floor, dollar-for-dollar reductions in HCLS or frozen support are made.48 The Commission determined it was inappropriate to use limited federal high-cost support to subsidize local rates beyond what is necessary to ensure reasonable comparability.49 The Commission’s rule phased in the rate floor in three steps, beginning with an initial rate floor of $10 for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013; $14 for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014; and an amount to be established through the annual rate survey for the years beginning July 1, 2014, and thereinafter.50 In September 2013, USAC reported that there were 276 study areas with support reductions, based on rates in effect on June 1, 2013.51 Within these study areas, a total number of 219,583 lines were subject to rate floor reductions that totaled $4.3 million (HCLS and frozen support).52 Of that $4.3 million, $2 million in the total annual reduction represented reductions in support for rate-of-return carriers: those carriers receiving HCLS reported rates below the appropriate threshold for a total of 55,836 lines between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 in 257 study areas.53 On April 3, 2013, the Bureau adopted the form and content for the survey of urban rates for fixed voice and fixed broadband residential services.54 From December 2013-January 2014, the Bureau collected the rates offered by providers of fixed services identified using the recent FCC Form 477 data in 500 Census tracts. Completed surveys were due on January 17, 2014.55 The following table summarizes 44 NTCA—The Rural Broadband Association, the United States Telecom Association, the Independent Telephone and Telecommunications Alliance, WTA, and the Eastern Rural Telecom Association, Petition for Stay, or in the Alternative for Extension of Time to Reconcile Study Area Boundaries, WC Docket Nos. 10-90, 05-337 (filed Dec. 17, 2013). 45 See Study Area Boundaries Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd at 16315, para. 2. 46 47 U.S.C. § 254(b)(3). 47 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17749, 17751, paras. 235, 238; see also 47 C.F.R § 54.318. 48 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17752, para. 240. 49 Id. at 17751, para. 237. 50 Id. at para. 239. 51 See Letter from Karen Majcher, Vice President, High Cost and Low Income Division, USAC, to Marlene H.

Figure 7 Summary Results of the Urban Rates Survey (Source: Urban Rates Survey data) Voice Service Provider Type Unlimited Flat-Rate Local Voice Service Unlimited All-Distance Voice Service All $26.85 $46.64 Incumbent LEC $20.46 $48.91 Non-Incumbent LEC $31.09 $45.40 Incumbent LEC Circuit Switched $20.24 $53.54 Incumbent LEC VoIP $29.95 $35.15 Non-Incumbent LEC Circuit Switched $29.37 $45.94 Non-Incumbent LEC VoIP $31.38 $44.13 As noted in the figure above, the Bureau calculated that the average local end-user rates plus state regulated fees of the surveyed incumbent LECs in urban areas is $20.46. The USF/ICC Transformation Order defined the average urban rate to include local end-user rates plus state regulated fees (specifically, state subscriber line charges (SLCs), state USF, and mandatory extended area service charges) and excluded the federal SLC.56 Because the Bureau found that non-incumbent LEC provider recurring monthly rates collected in the survey typically were higher than incumbent LEC reported recurring monthly rates (possibly because non-incumbent LEC providers charged rates similar to the incumbent LECs’ monthly charge plus the federal SLC), the Bureau calculated the average using only urban incumbent LEC rates for an average of $20.46. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission also determined that “ETCs must offer voice telephony service, including voice telephone service offered on a standalone basis, at rates that are reasonably comparable to urban rates”57 and adopted a presumption that “a voice rate is within a reasonable range if it falls within two standard deviations above the national average.”58 Based on the survey responses, the Bureau also calculated the reasonable comparability benchmark for voice services to be $46.96.59 For purposes of the reasonable comparability benchmark, the Bureau concluded that the rates of all local flat-rate providers (both incumbent LEC and non-incumbent LEC providers) and, consistent with existing precedent, federal SLCs should be included.60 Oversight and Accountability. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission established a uniform national framework for information that ETCs must report to their respective states and the Commission, while affirming that states will continue to play a critical role overseeing ETCs that 56 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17751, para. 238. 57 Id. at 17693, para. 81. 58 Id. at 17694, para. 88. 59 Id. at para. 84. 60 Id. 14 they designate. 61 The Commission modified and extended existing federal reporting requirements to all ETCs, whether designated by a state or the Commission, to reflect the new public interest obligations.62 Specific changes include extending voice reporting requirements to all ETCs, adopting requirements to reflect new broadband obligations, and requiring all ETCs subject to new broadband obligations to file five-year plans.63 In 2013, ETCs began filing their annual reports on a standardized form – FCC Form 481 – with the Commission, USAC, the relevant state commissions, relevant authority in a U.S. Territory, or Tribal governments, as appropriate.64 Based in part on those filings, state commissions and ETCs not subject to the jurisdiction of a state commission certified to the Commission that high-cost support received was used and will be used for the intended purposes.65 61 Id. at 17854, para. 587. 62 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.313. 63 Id. In May 2013, the Bureau granted a limited waiver of its rule requiring rate-of-return carriers to submit a five- year plan in 2013 and instead allowed those plans to be filed at the same time as ETC 2014 annual reports.

The first such information was submitted in October 2013 by 528 rate-of-return carriers.66 Figure 8 below summarizes information on several key statistics for a sample of rate-of-return carrier Form 481 financial data.67 Figure 8 Average Metrics for Sample of Rate-of-Return Carriers (Source: Sample of FCC Form 481 Submissions) 2011-2012 Percentage Metric Change Increase (Decrease) Total Revenue 4.4% Telephone Plant in Service 6.6% Total Assets 5.6% Of the 50 carriers sampled, 30 saw an increase in telephone plant in service, while 20 saw a decrease in telephone plant in service. Although the average increase in telephone plant in service was 6.6%, individual companies experienced a change in plant in service ranging from -29% to 23%. Of the 50 carriers sampled, 16 also saw an increase in revenue, while 34 saw a decrease in revenue. While the average increase in revenue was 4.4%, individual companies experienced a change in revenue ranging from -24% to 22%. Finally, 42 companies had positive net income in 2011 and 9 had negative net income (net loss). In 2012, slightly fewer companies in the sample (21) had growth in net income than those that had a reduction (30). Overall, for the companies in the sample, the total net income fell slightly (7.6%) between 2011 and 2012. 66 Section 54.313(f)(2) of the Commission’s rules requires non-public rate-of-return carriers to file annually a report regarding their financial condition and operations for the preceding year. Privately-held rate-of-return carriers were required to file 2011 and 2012 financial statements with their first 2013 submission. See Fifth Order on Reconsideration, 27 FCC Rcd at 14553, para. 12. 67 Bureau staff evaluated a sample of the more than 500 filings. Given the PDF format of the filings, it would have been difficult to aggregate the financial information for all 500 filers without significant manual re-entry of the data. The sample set of carriers whose data are summarized above includes a geographically diverse set of 50 carriers from across the nation. The Bureau examined total company financial information (for both regulated and non-regulated services) for the sample set of carriers. The individual carriers ranged in size from a high of 46,802 access lines to a low of 80 access lines. Notwithstanding the geographic and size diversity of the carrier sample, it is not possible to infer any statistical significance to the estimates derived from it. The list of carriers included in the sample set is included in the Appendix to this report. See Appendix, Figure A2. 16 Overall USF Support. The following table shows 2011, 2012, and 2013 total high cost support amounts per mechanism, broken out separately for price cap carriers and rate-of-return carriers.68 Figure 9 Overall High Cost Support (in $millions) (Source: Staff analysis based on USAC disbursements by carrier type) 2011 2012 2013 Rate-of-Return Carrier High Cost Support High Cost Loop 809 795 767 Connect America Fund ICC - 177 330 Phase I Frozen High Cost - - - Interstate Common Line 859 879 847 Phase I Incremental - - - Local Switching 199 92 (12) Safety Net 65 42 20 Safety Valve 6 8 6 Interstate Access - - - High Cost Model - - - Total 1,938 1,993 1,958 Price Cap Carrier High Cost Support High Cost Loop 100 (2) 1 Connect America Fund ICC - 38 92 Phase I Frozen High Cost - 1,036 1,034 Interstate Common Line 270 11 (3) Phase I Incremental - 115 307 Local Switching 55 (2) (0) Safety Net 11 - - Safety Valve - - - Interstate Access 440 (8) - High Cost Model 144 0 - Total 1,020 1,188 1,431 68 The information in this table and other tables in this report show actual disbursement data, which typically differs from projected demand. Disbursements often differ from actual demand and actual support in any given period because disbursements take into account true-ups for past overpayments and underpayments, which are driven in large part by the NECA corrections process. Disbursements were lower in 2013 than USAC’s projections because there were overpayments in 2012 that resulted in downward adjustments to carrier disbursements in early 2013. 17 We note that support for rate-of-return carriers has been subject to the HCLS cap and rural growth factor for more than a decade, which were not altered in the USF/ICC Transformation Order.69 In 2001, the Commission modified the distribution of HCLS by re-basing the fund for rural telephone companies and retaining an indexed cap.70 Specifically, the Commission concluded that the total cap on HCLS would be adjusted annually by a rural growth factor equal to annual changes in gross domestic product (GDP) and the consumer price index (CPI) and changes in the total number of working loops.71 Given decreases in working loops in rate-of-return areas in recent years, the indexed cap has limited HCLS for many rate-of-return carriers. Figure 10 displays information regarding the amounts of HCLS and interstate common line support (ICLS) disbursed to incumbent providers from 2011-2013.72 Elimination of Local Switching Support. Local Switching Support (LSS) allowed rural incumbent LECs serving 50,000 access lines or fewer to allocate a larger percentage of their switching costs (including related overhead costs) to the interstate jurisdiction and recover those costs through the 69 See Rural Task Force Order, 16 FCC Rcd 11244. 70 See id. at 11249, para. 12. 71 Id. 72 Prior to the USF/ICC Transformation Order, some price cap carriers received HCLS. Companies received support depending on whether they were classified as either “rural” or “non-rural” under the Commission’s rules (rural companies received high-cost loop support, while non-rural companies received high-cost model support) and how they were regulated at the interstate level (rate-of-return carriers received ICLS, while price cap carriers received interstate access support). See Connect America Fund; A National Broadband Plan for Our Future; Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers; High-Cost Universal Service Support; Developing a Unified Intercarrier Compensation Regime; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service; Lifeline and Link-Up, WC Docket Nos. 10-90, 07-135, 05-337, 03-109, GN Docket No. 09-51, CC Docket Nos. 01-92, 96- 45, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 26 FCC Rcd 4554, 4610, para. 164 (2011). For example, if a price carrier was classified as a “rural” carrier, it would have been eligible to receive HCLS. Thus, one cannot directly compare the HCLS support amounts for the period pre-2012 to the amounts received by rate-of-return carriers post-2012. 2011 2012 2013 ICLS $859 $879 $847 HCLS $809 $795 $767 $0 $100 $200 $300 $400 $500 $600 $700 $800 $900 $1,000 Figure 10 Rate-of Return Carriers ICLS and HCLS Disbursements (in $millions) (Source: USAC Disbursements) ICLS HCLS 18 federal universal service fund.73 Effective July 1, 2012, the Commission eliminated LSS as a stand-alone support program.74 It also allowed for recovery of some the costs previously covered by LSS through the Connect America Fund ICC recovery mechanism.75 Intercarrier Compensation Reform. The USF/ICC Transformation Order established a number of new rules requiring carriers to cap most ICC rates and reduce certain switched access charges as part of a transition to a bill-and-keep methodology.76 The Commission capped the vast majority of interstate and intrastate switched access rates as of December 29, 2011.77 By July 2012, carriers were required to reduce certain intrastate switched access rates by 50 percent of the differential between the carriers’ relevant intrastate access rates and interstate access rates, provided that the aggregate intrastate revenues were above the aggregate interstate revenues.78 The reductions to intrastate rates were implemented at the state level via intrastate tariffs and related state proceedings. 73 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17758, para. 253. 74 Id. at 17760, para. 257. 75 Id. at 17967, para. 867. 76 See id. at 17934-35, para. 801 and Fig. 9 (although many of the switched access rate elements are subject to the transition adopted, other rates are not being specifically reduced at this time). See also 47 C.F.R § 51.909; USF/ICC Transformation FNPRM, 26 FCC Rcd at 18109-115, paras. 1297-1314 (seeking comment on the appropriate transition for rate elements not reduced in the USF/ICC Transformation Order). 77 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17934-35, para. 801 and Fig. 9. For price cap carriers, all intrastate rates are capped as of the effective date, while for rate-of-return carriers, only terminating intrastate access rates are capped. Id. 78 Id. The transition specified separate treatment for reciprocal compensation rates, requiring carriers to reduce reciprocal compensation rates, if above the carrier’s interstate access rates, by 50 percent of the differential between the reciprocal compensation rate and the carrier’s interstate access rate. See id. The rules defining the rate transition did not specify required reductions based on rate levels, but compared certain intrastate revenues resulting from switched demand for Fiscal Year 2011 to the same demand priced at corresponding interstate rates for the same period. See 47 C.F.R. § 51.909(b); see also Connect America Fund et al., WC Docket No. 10-90 et al., Order, 27 FCC Rcd 5986, 5989-90, paras. 8-9 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2012). 19 Figure 11 ICC Transition Timeline The Commission also adopted a mechanism, known as Eligible Recovery, to mitigate the impact of reduced intercarrier revenues on carriers.79 A carrier’s Eligible Recovery is based on a percentage of the reduction in revenue each year resulting from the ICC reform transition. The Commission’s rules state that the amount that rate-of-return carriers are eligible to recover must be adjusted down by approximately 5 percent each year.80 The recovery mechanism therefore significantly alleviates the burden placed upon rate-of-return carriers by the phase down of ICC and LSS. Incumbent LECs entitled to Eligible Recovery may assess an Access Recovery Charge (ARC) on consumers in the form of a monthly fixed charge.81 If an incumbent LEC cannot recover its entire Eligible Recovery through ARCs and is otherwise eligible, it may opt to receive the remainder from Connect America Fund support.82 The 79 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17677, para. 36. In adopting the recovery mechanism, the Commission explained that it did so in large part “to provide predictability to incumbent carriers that had been receiving implicit ICC subsidies [and] to mitigate marketplace disruption during the reform transition.” Id. at 17962-63, para. 858. 80 47 C.F.R § 51.917(b)(2). 81 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17988, para. 908 82 In creating the recovery mechanism, the Commission concluded that “it is appropriate to first look to customers paying lower rates for some limited, reasonable recovery, and adopt a number of safeguards to ensure that rates (continued...) 20 following diagram shows the amount of support recovered by price cap and rate-of-return carriers in calendar years 2012 and 2013. Since August 2012, thirteen rate-of-return LECs have filed ten petitions for waiver of parts of the Commission’s rules to allow inclusion of additional revenues in petitioners’ ICC recovery mechanism “Base Period Revenue” calculations83 for determining Eligible Recovery. These petitions, all currently pending, fall into the following four categories: (1) four requested approval to include uncollected intrastate access charges billed to Halo Wireless; (2) six requested approval to include late-collected revenues due to accounting errors; (3) one requested approval to include late-collected revenues due to a carrier settlement; and (4) two requested approval to adjust their 2011 interstate switched access revenue requirements “to recognize the conversion from average schedule to cost-based settlements” that took place prior to the Commission’s adoption of the USF/ICC Transformation Order.84 Four of these petitions are addressed in an order that Chairman Wheeler is circulating to the other Commissioners, while the Bureau is actively addressing the others. Broadband Connections and Deployment. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission required, as a condition of receiving HCLS, ICLS, or Connect America support, that carriers provide broadband service at speeds of at least 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream with latency suitable for real-time applications, such as VoIP, and with usage capacity reasonably comparable to that available in residential terrestrial fixed broadband offerings in urban areas, upon reasonable request.85 (Continued from previous page) remain affordable and that consumers are not required to contribute an inequitable share of lost intercarrier revenues.” Id. at para. 906; see also generally id. at 17987-90, paras. 906-910. 83 See 47 C.F.R § 51.917(b). 84 See Petition of Laurel Highland Telephone Company and Yukon-Waltz Telephone Company for Limited Waiver of 47 C.F.R. § 51.917(b)(4), CC Docket Nos. 01-92, 96-45, GN Docket No. 09-51, WC Docket Nos. 03-109, 05- 337, 07-135, 10-90, WT Docket No. 10-208, at 2 (filed Apr. 12, 2013). 85 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17740, para. 206.
