The Commission has used FCC Form 477 to collect subscribership information from providers of local telephone service – the incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) , competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), and mobile telephony providers – for more than a decade. 1 The Commission has required interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (“interconnected V oIP”) service providers to report subscribership information since December 2008 because the use of VoIP technology is growing rapidly and it increasingly is used to provide local telephone service.2 This report summarizes the information collected about telephone services as of June 30, 2013. I t demonstrates continued growth in subscribership to interconnected VoIP and mobile telephony services and continued decline in subscribership to traditional wired telephone services.3 Retail local telephone service. Retail local telephone service customers are served by two wireline technologies – “end -user” switched access lines and interconnected VoIP “subscriptions” – and by mobile wireless subscriptions. • In June 2013, there were 90 million end- user switched access lines in service, 45 million interconnected VoIP subscriptions, and 306 million mobile subscriptions in the United States, or 441 million retail local telephone service connections in total. See Figure 1. 1 See the Technical Notes and the Glossary that appear at the end of this report for more- detailed information about the Form 477 and the meaning of terms used in this report. For an overview of program history for the telephone services data, see Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 2008 (June 2010) at pp. 1-2, available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. Readers who are interested in historical trends in the data should note the changes in reporting requirements that were effective in 2008 and earlier, in 2005. 2 The FCC’s rules (at 47 C.F.R. § 9.3) state: An interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service is a service that: (1) Enables real -time, two-way voice communications; (2) Requires a broadband connection from the user’s location; (3) Requires Internet protocol -compatible customer premises equipment (CPE); and (4) Permits users generally to receive calls that originate on the public switched telephone network and to terminate calls to the public switched telephone network. We note that the current interpretation of element (4) of the definition excludes the VoIP services that Skype offer s in the United States, and subscribers to those services are not reported on Form 477. Pr ior to the December 2008 data, companies such as Vonage that solely provide interconnected VoIP service did not file Form 477. Telephone companies and cable companies that provided local exchange telephone service were required to file Form 477 but were not required to report interconnected VoIP subscriptions. However, some of these companies chose to include interconnected VoIP subscriptions in the number of retail (end-user) switched access lines that they reported. 3 The presentation of mobile wireless telephone subscriber counts in this report does not constitute, or imply, Commission analysis of the extent to which wireline and mobile wireless telephone service s are demand substitutes or complements in general or in any particular situation. In the Form 477 program, commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) carriers who own or operate wireless networks report both their retail telephone service customers and the retail customers of mobile wireless telephone service resellers. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of June 30, 2013 1 • Over the three-year period presented in Figure 1, inte rconnected VoIP subscriptions increased at a compound annual growth rate of 16%, mobile telephony subscriptions increased at a compound annual growth rate of 3%, and retail switched access lines declined at 10% a year .4 Figure 1 Ret ail Local Telephone Service Connections, 2010 - 2013 (In Thousands ) • Of the 135 million wireline retail local telephone service connections (including both switched access lines and interconnected VoIP subscriptions) in June 2013, 77 million (or 57%) were residential connections and 58 million (or 43%) were business connections. 5 See Figure 2. 4 The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a smoothed rate of growth calculated in three steps. First, divide the ending (June 2013) value by the beginning (June 2010) value. Second, raise the result of that division to a power equal to one divided by the number of years in the period (in this case, 3 years, so the power is 1/3). Third, subtract the number one from the result of the second step. 5 FCC Form 477 does not distinguish between residential and business subscribers to mobile telephony service. The information that Form 477 collects about mobile broadband service is summarized elsewhere; see Internet Access Services: Status as of June 30, 2013, available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/comp.html. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of June 30, 2013 2 • Cross-classified by technology and customer type, the 135 million wireline retail local telephone service connections in June 2013 were: 30% residential switched access lines, 36% business switched access lines, 27% residential interconnected VoIP subscriptions, and 7% business interconnected VoIP subscriptions. See Figure 2.

Service providers. The Form 477 program – and this report – distinguishes ILEC operations from all other operations. • Cross-classified by customer type (residential or business) and the service retailer’s regulatory status (ILEC or non- ILEC ), the 135 million wireline retail local telephone service connections in June 2013 were: 34% ILEC residential service, 25% ILEC business service, 24% non- ILEC residential service, and 18% non- ILEC business service. See Figure 3.

U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of June 30, 2013 5 Interconnected VoIP service. Form 477 identifies three types of information about retail interconnected VoIP service. • First, interconnected VoIP service retailers distinguish between the interconnected VoIP subscriptions they sell to their broadband Internet access service customers (“broadband bundle” subscriptions, in this report) and all the other interconnected VoIP subscriptions that they sell (“standalone” subscriptions). • Second, filers report whether or not interconnected VoIP subscriptions include , as a service feature, the capability to use the service over any broadband connection to which the customer has access, for example, at a hotel or vacation residence (“nomadic” functionality). • Third, filers identify the different broadband technologies (for example, cable modem Internet access service) in the broadband bundle. The Form 477 data cross-classify the first two of these three sets of information. See Figure 5.

ILECs as a group predominant ly deliver retail switched access lines over copper local loops. This appears also to be the case for those non-ILECs who report retail switched access lines. See Figure 7.

Wholesale relationships for switched access lines. ILECs typically own the communications facilities over which they provide retail services. By contrast, CLECs use a range of methods: equipping ILEC UNE loops (“ UNE -L” ) as CLEC switched access lines, 7 reselling services (for example, reselling ILEC 7 CLECs (as opposed to non -ILECs more generally) have certain regulatory rights to obtain ILE C local loops at cost- based UNE rates, which the CLEC may use to provide retail switched access lines or retail broadband Internet access connections. See C.F.R. § 51.307. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of June 30, 2013 9 switched access lines obtained at wholesale rates or reselling ILEC lines obtained under commercial agreements that replaced the UNE -Platform (“UNE -P”) ), equipping leased ILEC special access circuits as switched access lines, and equipping local loops that the CLEC owns. • CLECs reported using several methods to provide their 19.3 million retail switched access lines in June 2013. They reported providing 41% of lines (or 8.0 million lines) by reselling ILEC wholesale or retail services. They reported providing 33% of lines (or 6.3 million lines) over ILEC facilities leased at regulated, cost -based rates (that is, as unbundled network elements, or UNEs ). And they provided the remaining 26% of lines (or 5.0 million lines) over local loops that they owned. However, the information about wholesale relationships differs as reported by CLECs and by ILECs , as discussed in Figure 8. Figure 8 Wholesale Relationships as Reported Respectively by CLECs and ILECs as of June 30, 2013 (I n Thousands) CLEC ILEC Difference Retail Switched Access Lines provisioned over ILEC Services (reported by CLECs) Wholesale Switched Access Lines and UNEs provided to CLECs (reported by ILECs) Resold ILEC servic es1 7,984 3,957 4,028 UNE - P 2 937 1 935 UNE - L3 5,383 2,787 2,597 Total ILEC UNEs 6,320 2,788 3,532 Total ILEC services 14,304 6,744 7,560 Figures may not add to totals due to rounding. 1 Resold ILEC services include switched access lines made available to CLECs at wholesale rates, resold Centrex, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), or other ILEC services, ILEC special access circuits channelized to provide CLEC retail switched access lines, and ILEC switched access lines provided to CLECs under commercial agreements that replaced UNE -P. (See note 2, below.) Filers are instructed to count the number of voice-grade channels the retail customer purchased, not the theoretical capacity of the circuit over which the service was delivered. ILECs generally do not know (and do not report) which ILEC leased special access circuits or other high -capacity circuits are being used to provide CLEC retail switched access lines (which the CLECs do report). 2 U N E -P was the combination of ILEC l oop UNE, switching UNE, and transport UNE. The Commission directed CLECs to migrate their retail customers served by UNE -P to an alternative arrangement within 12 months of the effective data of the Triennial Review Remand Order, that is, by March 11, 2006. See C.F.R. § 51.319(d)(2)(ii). 3 ILECs report the number of UNE -L they provide to CLECs but do not convert any high -capacity UNE -L, such as DS1 UNE loops, into voice -grade equivalents. By contrast, CLECs report the number of switched access lines their retail customers purchase which the CLEC provisioned over UNE -L obtained from ILECs. Note, however, that a CLEC might use UNE -L only to provide broadband Internet access connections.

Previously, individual ILECs and CLECs included VoIP subscribers in reported switched access lines to a varying and largely unknown degree. Interconnected VoIP is distinguished from VoIP service more generally by permitting users to receive calls that originate on the public switched telephone network and to terminate calls to the public switched telephone network. See 47 C.F.R. § 9.3. Form 477 counts both switched access lines and interconnected VoIP subscriptions as the maximum number of calls that may be active, simultaneously, from the end user’s location under the purchased service plan.

See Glossary for definitions of terms used in this report. Counting lines and subscribers • Form 477 counts both switched access lines and interconnected VoIP subscriptions as the maximum number of calls that may be active, simultaneously, from the end user’s location under the purchased service plan. All VoIP subscriptions discusse d in this report are interconnected VoIP subscriptions. • Form 477 data may not count all VoIP phone connections to Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IP PBX) equipment that is owned by business end users because of the variety of ways the IP PBX may connect to the public switched telephone network. Holding company- subsidiary relationships • When counting service providers who have any retail customers in a particular geography, we count a holding company or common-control entity no more than once in any specified sub- category of total providers. • Nationwide counts of providers are unique counts for any specified sub- category of total providers (for example, all non-ILECs or all interconnected VoIP providers); an entity operating in multiple states is counted only once. ILEC-CLEC affiliations • Lines from CLECs who have ILEC affiliates are handled at the state level in one of several ways. We place the lines into the non-ILEC category if the affiliate is an ILEC other than AT&T or Verizon. Lines from CLEC affiliates of AT&T and Verizon are allocated between the ILEC and non-ILEC categories based on staff estimates if the CLEC operates in the AT&T or Verizon ILEC service area in the state, respectively.
