Applicant:
Contact:
Applicant has applied and received its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.
Applicant provided Internet access services only during calendar year 2002. Applicant has
obtained the necessary equipment and is currently offering to provide dial-tone service on the
network.
Applicant installed equipment in Bear Creek Subdivision off of Stoddard and Victory Roads
in Meridian, Idaho (See Addendum B). Applicant also installed equipment, necessary for the
management of the broadband network, at 1090 W. Boeing Street, Boise, Idaho.
Applicant delivered high-speed Internet access, e-mail, and community portal services during
calendar year 2002. Applicant also began offering VOIP dial tone services during calendar
year 2002.
Network transmission rate is limited per subscriber. Service has a minimum speed of
256 Kilobits per second (256 Kbps) download and upload. Subscribers can obtain higher
speeds for additional subscription costs. Speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps are priced in our
literature.
Addendum A is attached listing equipment or network facilities including the brand or
vendor, the models, and the costs.
Addendum A is attached listing equipment or network facilities including the dates or periods
when the equipment/facilities were installed.
Addendum B is attached which is a map of the subdivision. The switch equipment is located
in a small building at the northwest corner of the subdivision. This building serves as
Headend" with all homes being connected to this point via fiber optic cable. Trunk lines of
multiple stand fiber optic cables run through conduits to each general area of the subdivision.
A lower strand count fiber optic cable is then spliced onto the higher strand count cable and
run through a conduit into each home. Equipment is placed at each home to transition from
fiber optics to copper based, structured wiring within the home. The Headend Building is
connected to an Internet source via the installation of trunk line back to Boise, Idaho from an
outside vendor.
Additional switch equipment, control servers, and application servers are located at 1090
Boeing Street, Boise, Idaho. We have not included a map ofthis location. However, it is
south ofI-84 and east ofthe Broadway exit off ofI-84.
Bear Creek Subdivision has purchased additional ground and will have 348 homes, an
increase of22 homes from original plat. Homes are estimated to average 3.5 residents per
home. The total number of potential subscribers is estimated at 1 218. All subscribers
(100%) would be Idaho Residents.
Applicant and Applicant's CPA have read the applicable statutes for broadband investment
income tax credit and believe that the attached list of equipment/facilities qualifies for the tax
credit under Idaho Code Section 63-30291.
