FCC Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
• Order released Nov 18th
• Effective date for most items in Order is December 29, 2011
• Two Further Notice comment cycles begin in January and
  February
• Order is subject to appeal and reconsideration
  • Deadline for reconsideration is Dec 29th
  • Order is appealed in the following U.S. Courts of Appeal: 1st, 2nd,
    3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th and D.C.
     • These will be consolidated by lottery and more are expected since
       the appeal window is still open


                                                                           2
Comprehensive Reforms
 • USF
   •   Make programs more efficient
   •   Target support to specific areas
   •   Transition support to broadband
   •   Create a mobility fund
 • ICC
   • Eliminate loopholes and arbitrage opportunities
   • Establish a bill-and-keep rate structure
       • Begin with Terminating Switched Access Service
       • Transition all LEC traffic to bill-and-keep over time   3
Major Changes
• FCC Order represents major change to three industry
  groups
   • Incumbent local exchange carriers
     • Price Cap
     • Rate of Return
   • Wireless providers of voice and broadband
   • Competitive local exchange carriers
• Changes include USF and ICC revenues
• Changes will alter company behavior
• Changes do not touch USF School and Library programs
  such as e-rate
  • Utah total committed School and Library funds for Jul 2009-Jun   4
    2010 was $24.1M
Budget
• FCC is putting a cap on the amount of federal support for USF
  and ICC reform
  • Current
     • USF is $4.2B
     • ICC approximately $1B for rate of return carriers
  • Proposed
     • USF and about 1/3 of ICC reform $4.5B
• Unclear whether there will be sufficient support to promote
  the deployment of broadband in rural areas served by price-
  cap carriers and continue the development of broadband in
  areas served by rate-of-return carriers.

                                                                  5

Note: Amounts inclusive of ICC recovery mechanism funds
Expanded Obligations
• All USF recipients must offer voice telephony service and
  broadband service
  • Broadband is 4/1 now and moving to 6/1.5
  • VoIP qualifies as a voice telephony service
• Price Cap carriers must use support in areas where there is no
  unsupported competitor offering broadband
• Rate-of-return Carriers must provide broadband to end-user
  customers upon reasonable request

USF Changes
 • Make programs more efficient
    • Adjust rate-of-return programs and place limits on
      support for past and future investments and expenses
    • Increase end-user rates for voice service
    • Eliminate identical support rule for CLEC support
 • Target support to specific areas
    • Support for incumbent carriers is limited to areas where
      there is no unsupported competitor offering broadband
      • Rate-of-return limited exception = 100 percent coverage of
        carrier’s study area
    • Begin to use auctions as an allocation mechanism
                                                                     9
      for wireless and price-cap carriers
USF Changes (cont.)
 • Transition support to broadband
   • Provide support for broadband capable networks
   • Require that broadband services be provided by
     USF recipients
 • Create a mobility fund
   • Establish a separate fund for mobile providers
     • Build-out, and
     • Ongoing operations


                                                      10
Broadband Coverage
(excluding wireless (3/0.7))




                               11
Broadband Coverage
(including wireless (3/0.7))




                               12
USF Conclusions
• Timeline
  • Most reforms begin in 2012 (Jan or July)
  • All is subject to appeal and further orders
• Current rate-of-return carriers will have reduced cost recovery
  options in high-cost areas
  • This will reduce the deployment of infrastructure
• Price-cap carriers must commit to statewide deployment or
  have areas move to an competitive auction for low-bid
  support
• CLECs may receive support through auctions
• Wireless providers will have dedicated support for build-out
  and ongoing operations                                            13
ICC REFORMS




                     14
Monumental Changes
FCC Abandons Access Policy
• We reject the notion that only the calling party benefits from a
  call and therefore should bear the entire cost of originating,
  transporting, and terminating a call. As a result, we now
  abandon the calling-party-network-pays model that
  dominated ICC regimes of the last century.




                                                                     15
Comprehensive Reforms
• Uniform Access Rate Structure
  • Bill and keep as the “ultimate end state for all
    telecommunications traffic exchanged with a LEC”
     • Begin with terminating charges
     • Follow-up with originating and transport charges
  • State terminating switched access rates to equal interstate rates
    by 2013
  • Reduce termination (and some carriers’ transport price cap) to
    bill and keep
     • Six years for price cap
     • Nine years for rate of return (July 2020)

                                                                        16
Alternate Cost Recovery
• After assessing an end-user charge, a portion of
  remaining costs may be recovered through a new USF
  program (CAF)
• End-user charges
  • $0.50 per residential and single business line
     • Price cap five years
     • Rate of return six years
  • $1.00 per line for multi-line businesses for 6 years
     • Subject to federal charges cap of $12.20
  • FCC to assess federal SLC levels in Further Notice
• CAF support
  • Systematic reductions to eligible support
                                                           17
     • Eliminated for price-cap carriers in < 10 years
Other Traffic Issues
• Certain types of VoIP traffic will be subject to long distance
  charges
• Wireless to Wireline Charges
  • Intra-MTA areas will have no charges assessed
      • Doesn’t cover transport charges
• FCC wants to promote IP-to-IP Interconnection




                                                                   18
Summary
• FCC
  •   Move to broadband services
  •   Provide incentives for IP interconnection and VoIP
  •   Encourage wireless deployment
  •   Encourage consolidation of smaller carriers
• Industry Response
  • Less infrastructure deployment in some rural areas
  • Increased local service rates will lead to more churn and wireless
    services as customers value mobility of service
  • Long distance services may drop in price
• Customer Response
  • Depends on services that are purchased                               19

USF - ICC Reform Douglas Meredith

  • 1. USF – ICC Reform: First Look at the Future Utah Broadband Advisory Council December 14, 2011 Douglas Meredith Director – Economics and Policy John Staurulakis, Inc. 1
  • 2. FCC Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking • Order released Nov 18th • Effective date for most items in Order is December 29, 2011 • Two Further Notice comment cycles begin in January and February • Order is subject to appeal and reconsideration • Deadline for reconsideration is Dec 29th • Order is appealed in the following U.S. Courts of Appeal: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th and D.C. • These will be consolidated by lottery and more are expected since the appeal window is still open 2
  • 3. Comprehensive Reforms • USF • Make programs more efficient • Target support to specific areas • Transition support to broadband • Create a mobility fund • ICC • Eliminate loopholes and arbitrage opportunities • Establish a bill-and-keep rate structure • Begin with Terminating Switched Access Service • Transition all LEC traffic to bill-and-keep over time 3
  • 4. Major Changes • FCC Order represents major change to three industry groups • Incumbent local exchange carriers • Price Cap • Rate of Return • Wireless providers of voice and broadband • Competitive local exchange carriers • Changes include USF and ICC revenues • Changes will alter company behavior • Changes do not touch USF School and Library programs such as e-rate • Utah total committed School and Library funds for Jul 2009-Jun 4 2010 was $24.1M
  • 5. Budget • FCC is putting a cap on the amount of federal support for USF and ICC reform • Current • USF is $4.2B • ICC approximately $1B for rate of return carriers • Proposed • USF and about 1/3 of ICC reform $4.5B • Unclear whether there will be sufficient support to promote the deployment of broadband in rural areas served by price- cap carriers and continue the development of broadband in areas served by rate-of-return carriers. 5
  • 6. Slice the $4.5B Pie Admin, 0.1 Satellite, 0.1 Mobility, 0.5 Price Cap, 1.8 Rate of Return, 2.0 6 Note: Amounts inclusive of ICC recovery mechanism funds
  • 7. Expanded Obligations • All USF recipients must offer voice telephony service and broadband service • Broadband is 4/1 now and moving to 6/1.5 • VoIP qualifies as a voice telephony service • Price Cap carriers must use support in areas where there is no unsupported competitor offering broadband • Rate-of-return Carriers must provide broadband to end-user customers upon reasonable request 7
  • 8.

  • 9. USF Changes • Make programs more efficient • Adjust rate-of-return programs and place limits on support for past and future investments and expenses • Increase end-user rates for voice service • Eliminate identical support rule for CLEC support • Target support to specific areas • Support for incumbent carriers is limited to areas where there is no unsupported competitor offering broadband • Rate-of-return limited exception = 100 percent coverage of carrier’s study area • Begin to use auctions as an allocation mechanism 9 for wireless and price-cap carriers
  • 10. USF Changes (cont.) • Transition support to broadband • Provide support for broadband capable networks • Require that broadband services be provided by USF recipients • Create a mobility fund • Establish a separate fund for mobile providers • Build-out, and • Ongoing operations 10
  • 13. USF Conclusions • Timeline • Most reforms begin in 2012 (Jan or July) • All is subject to appeal and further orders • Current rate-of-return carriers will have reduced cost recovery options in high-cost areas • This will reduce the deployment of infrastructure • Price-cap carriers must commit to statewide deployment or have areas move to an competitive auction for low-bid support • CLECs may receive support through auctions • Wireless providers will have dedicated support for build-out and ongoing operations 13
  • 14. ICC REFORMS 14 Monumental Changes
  • 15. FCC Abandons Access Policy • We reject the notion that only the calling party benefits from a call and therefore should bear the entire cost of originating, transporting, and terminating a call. As a result, we now abandon the calling-party-network-pays model that dominated ICC regimes of the last century. 15
  • 16. Comprehensive Reforms • Uniform Access Rate Structure • Bill and keep as the “ultimate end state for all telecommunications traffic exchanged with a LEC” • Begin with terminating charges • Follow-up with originating and transport charges • State terminating switched access rates to equal interstate rates by 2013 • Reduce termination (and some carriers’ transport price cap) to bill and keep • Six years for price cap • Nine years for rate of return (July 2020) 16
  • 17. Alternate Cost Recovery • After assessing an end-user charge, a portion of remaining costs may be recovered through a new USF program (CAF) • End-user charges • $0.50 per residential and single business line • Price cap five years • Rate of return six years • $1.00 per line for multi-line businesses for 6 years • Subject to federal charges cap of $12.20 • FCC to assess federal SLC levels in Further Notice • CAF support • Systematic reductions to eligible support 17 • Eliminated for price-cap carriers in < 10 years
  • 18. Other Traffic Issues • Certain types of VoIP traffic will be subject to long distance charges • Wireless to Wireline Charges • Intra-MTA areas will have no charges assessed • Doesn’t cover transport charges • FCC wants to promote IP-to-IP Interconnection 18
  • 19. Summary • FCC • Move to broadband services • Provide incentives for IP interconnection and VoIP • Encourage wireless deployment • Encourage consolidation of smaller carriers • Industry Response • Less infrastructure deployment in some rural areas • Increased local service rates will lead to more churn and wireless services as customers value mobility of service • Long distance services may drop in price • Customer Response • Depends on services that are purchased 19
