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 VoIP”) 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 December 31, 2013. It 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 December 2013, there were 85 million end-user switched access lines in service, 48 million interconnected VoIP subscriptions, and 311 million mobile subscriptions in the United States, or 444 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 http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/local-telephone-competition-reports. 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 offers in the United States, and subscribers to those services are not reported on Form 477. Prior 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 services 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 December 31, 2013 1 • Over the three-year period presented in Figure 1, interconnected VoIP subscriptions increased at a compound annual growth rate of 15%, 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 Retail Local Telephone Service Connections, 2010 - 2013 (In Thousands) • Of the 133 million wireline retail local telephone service connections (including both switched access lines and interconnected VoIP subscriptions) in December 2013, 75 million (or 56%) were residential connections and 58 million (or 44%) 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 (December 2013) value by the beginning (December 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 December 31, 2013, available at http://www.fcc.gov/reports/internet-access-services-reports. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 2013 2 • Cross-classified by technology and customer type, the 133 million wireline retail local telephone service connections in December 2013 were: 28% residential switched access lines, 36% business switched access lines, 28% residential interconnected VoIP subscriptions, and 8% 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 133 million wireline retail local telephone service connections in December 2013 were: 32% ILEC residential service, 24% ILEC business service, 24% non-ILEC residential service, and 19% non-ILEC business service. See Figure 3.

U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 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 predominantly 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. Figure 7 Technology of Retail Switched Access Lines as of December 31, 2013 (In Thousands) Technology ILEC Non-ILEC Total FTTP 3,191 2,068 5,259 Coaxial Cable 162 1,505 1,667 Terrestrial Fixed Wireless 21 46 67 Copper Local Loop 62,662 15,625 78,288 Total 66,036 19,245 85,281 Figures may not add to totals due to rounding. 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 ILEC 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 December 31, 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 19.2 million retail switched access lines in December 2013. They reported providing 43% of lines (or 8.3 million lines) by reselling ILEC wholesale or retail services. They reported providing 31% of lines (or 5.9 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 December 31, 2013 (In 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 services1 8,318 3,851 4,467 UNE-P2 831 1 830 UNE-L3 5,106 2,690 2,416 Total ILEC UNEs 5,937 2,691 3,246 Total ILEC services 14,254 6,542 7,712 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 UNE-P was the combination of ILEC loop 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.

U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 2013 29 Technical Notes General Detailed information about FCC Form 477 reporting requirements for data as of December 31, 2013 is available at http://transition.fcc.gov/form477/, 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 discussed 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. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 2013 30 Glossary Term Definition Broadband bundle The purchase, from the same or affiliated retailers, of interconnected VoIP service and broadband Internet access service, either for a single price or for separate prices. Cable modem service A service which offers customers access to the Internet over a cable system at broadband speeds. Circuit switching A method of completing electronic communications in which a transmission path is established for dedicated use by a communication; the basis of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). CLEC Competitive Local Exchange Carrier: A new LEC that operates within the service area of an ILEC. DSL Digital Subscriber Line: A digital local loop, typically using copper facilities, that frequently is used to offer customers access to the Internet at broadband speeds. End users Residential, business, institutional, or government entities that use services for their own purposes and who do not resell such services to other entities. Fixed wireless service A radio communication service between specified fixed points. FTTP or FTTH Fiber to the Premises (Home): A network access architecture in which optical fiber is deployed all the way to the customer’s premises (home). Internet access service Service that provides end users access to the Internet. ILEC Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier: A company or cooperative that was providing telephone service in a localized area, typically on a monopoly basis, prior to enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Internet protocol or IP A language and set of formal rules that govern how packets transit the Internet. Interconnected VoIP or iVoIP A service that enables real-time, two-way voice communications; requires a broadband connection from the user’s location; requires Internet- protocol compatible customer premises equipment; and permits users generally to receive calls that originate on the public switched telephone network and to terminate calls to the public switched telephone network. LEC Local Exchange Carrier: A company that provides telephone service within a localized area and access services that connect its customers to long-distance (Interexchange Carrier) networks. Local loop The physical connection between the customer’s premises and the telephone company’s local switching office, typically provided using copper, fiber, or a combination of copper and fiber facilities. Mobile wireless service A radio communication service between mobile and fixed stations, or between mobile stations. Nomadic interconnected VoIP A service whose terms allow use over any broadband connection available to the subscriber (such as at a hotel or vacation residence); by contrast, a non-nomadic service subscription must be used over a single predetermined broadband connection. U.S. Federal Communications Commission Local Telephone Competition: Status as of December 31, 2013 31 Non-ILEC Any provider of communications services who does not have ILEC regulatory status. Other ILEC An ILEC who is not an RBOC. Other wireline All copper-wire based transmission technologies other than DSL technologies; Ethernet over copper and T-1 are examples. OTT Over-the-top: Interconnected VoIP service provided by entities that neither own nor operate telecommunications facilities. Packet switching A method of completing electronic communications in which the information is disassembled into discrete packets that are transmitted independently and later reassembled; IP is an example. PBX Private Branch Exchange: A telephone switch that is owned or leased by the telephone company’s customer and generally located on the customer’s premises. Retail local telephone service Retail switched access lines and interconnected VoIP subscriptions. Retail switched access lines Switched access lines for which an end user is the customer. Standalone interconnected VoIP The purchase of interconnected VoIP service without the purchase of broadband Internet access service from the same retailer, or from an affiliated retailer. Special access circuit A dedicated, non-switched circuit (connection or line) provided by an ILEC, commonly used to connect an end user to another communications service provider; also frequently used by wireless service providers to connect cell towers to mobile switching centers (MSCs). Switched access line A service connection between an end user and the local telephone company’s switch; the basis of plain old telephone service (POTS). Total ILEC lines The sum of ILEC-reported retail switched access lines, interconnected VoIP subscriptions, wholesale switched access lines, and UNEs provided to CLECs. UNE Unbundled Network Element: A physical or functional element of an ILEC network that must be provided to a CLEC at a cost-based price, as provide for in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. UNE-L UNE-Loop: An ILEC unbundled local loop provided to a CLEC at a cost-base price. UNE-P UNE-Platform: The combination of ILEC unbundled local loop, switching, and transport, provided to a CLEC at cost-based prices. Wholesale switched access lines Local telephone service provided to an unaffiliated telephone company, which resells the service to end users; typically provided by an ILEC to a CLEC.
