 Description of Planned Network Change(s): 

Existing  copper  facilities  within  Thomasville areas of North Carolina, comprised of the locations 
listed in the impacted address attachment  are showing signs of aging and  deterioration.  
North  State  has  existing  fiber-to-the-home  facilities  for  all of the  listed locations. At the 
completion of the transition all customers will be migrated from copper to fiber facilities, and the 
copper will be retired. 

Description of reasonably foreseeable impact(s) of the planned change(s): 

After  the  retirement of copper  facilities,  copper  facilities  will no longer be available to 
 serve customers at the attached locations and will not be maintained.  However, all services currently 
provided over copper facilities will continue to be provisioned over fiber facilities.
