RE: State Certification of Albion Telephone Company in Idaho for Federal Universal Service
Support
Dear Ms. Jewell,
Albion Telephone Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "Albion") hereby requests certification by Idaho
Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") to the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and
the Universal Service Administrative Corporation ("USAC") for universal service support, in accordance
with 47 U.S.C. 254(e). Albion, Study Area Code 472213, is a rural incumbent local exchange carrier
(ILEC) as designated by the FCC, and is eligible to receive federal universal service high-cost support
pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR"), Title 47, Sections 54.301, 54.305, and Part 36, sub-
part F.
In accordance with the PUC's order No. 29841 in case No. WST-T-05-1, Albion submits the following
information in support of this request.
Eligible Telecommunications Carrier Information
Company Name: Albion Telephone Company, Inc.
Address: P.O. Box 98
Albion, ID 83311
Contact Person: Rich Redman, General Manager
Telephone Number: 208.673.5335
Email Address: richatcnet. net
Service Area code (SAC): 472213
Commitment to Provide Service
As shown in the past, Albion remains committed to providing high-quality service in the years to come.
Albion certifies that it will:
1. Provide service on a timely basis to requesting customers within Albion's service area
where Albion's net-work already passes the potential customer's premises.
2.Provide service within a reasonable period of time, if the potential customer is within
Albion's licensed service area but outside its existing network coverage, if service can be
provided at reasonable cost, and in accordance with Albion's tariffs. Service will be
extended to these potential customers using the technological mechanisms that are most
appropriate given the type of service that Albion is providing, and in light of the features of
Albion's existing network.
3.Advertise the availability of its service offerings using media of general distribution. See
attachment.
Public Interest Determination
For over 80 years, Albion has provided high-quality telecommunications service that promotes the public
interest, convenience, and necessity. Albion is dedicated to meeting its customers' needs for reliable,
state-of-the-art telecommunications services. Albion will continue to direct resources to maintaining the
high quality of service provided by its existing network, and by its existing processes. In light of Albion's
longstanding record of outstanding past service, and its plans to continue upgrading, improving, and
maintaining its network for the benefit of its customers, there is no doubt that Albion's status as an ETC is
consistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity.
Tribal Notification
Albion service territory does not include tribal lands, as such, this requirement is inapplicable.
Ability to Remain Functional
Albion is well suited to remain functional during emergencies, or in response to damaged facilities, or
spikes in network traffic. Albion has taken significant steps to ensure that its network will remain
functional without an external power source. Albion has a backup power generator at each of its central
offices.
Service Quality and Consumer Protection Certification
Albion certifies that it is in compliance with the applicable service quality standards and consumer
protection rules of the FCC and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. Please see the attached affidavit of
Albion Telephone Company, Inc. Albion is devoted to providing high-quality service to our customers,
including prompt, responsive, and thorough customer service.
Description of the Applicants Local Usage Plan
Albion is the ILEC in the areas that it serves in Idaho. The Company's local usage plan consists of
unlimited local calling within the exchange boundaries as described in the Company's tariffs on file with
the Commission.
Two Year Network Improvement plan
The receipt of USF funding helps ensure that Albion's customers will continue to receive reliable,
high-quality, state-of-the-art service. From July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, Albion will continue to utilize
USF funds to maintain, upgrade, and improve its network and cover its operating expenses as necessary to
permit it to offer a high level of service to its customers. The following is a description of how USF funds
have been and will be employed for each of Albion's serving wire centers:
2
For the period of 2011 through June 2012, Albion's operating expenses for the entire network were
$12,477,181. During that same period, Albion's investments and capital expenditures were $636,446.
These amounts include investments in the following projects that were intended to improve the signal
quality, coverage and capacity in Albion's exchanges: (1) replace old copper facilities with FTTN (fiber to
the node) using PON (passive optical network) broadband loop carrier electronic equipment; (2) add
capacity and expand DSL availability; (3) line extension to new homes. The projects mentioned above
cannot be specifically linked to particular funding sources. However, high-cost support from the universal
service fund of $2,013,714 in 2011 provided critical funding that, when combined with other funding
sources, allowed Albion to pursue these investments throughout the exchange. See the table below for a
breakdown of the expenditures by exchange:

improve the signal quality, coverage and capacity in Albion's exchanges: (1) replace old copper facilities
with FTTN (fiber to the node) using PON (passive optical network) broadband loop carrier electronic

to customers in the Albion exchange, Albion will incur ongoing operating expenses, maintenance expenses,
and expenses related to system upgrades and improvements. Albion's total operating expenses from July 1,
2013 through June 30, 2014 are projected to be approximately $8,107,314, and are apportioned to each
exchange below:

In addition to the operating expenses, Albion expects to invest approximately $1,156,625 from July

follows:
Capital Investments

were intended to improve the signal quality, coverage and capacity in Albion's exchanges: (1) add capacity
and expand DSL availability; (2) line extension to new homes; (3) incorporate new facilities with FTTH in
new subdivisions.
Each of the aforementioned expenses will be incurred to maintain and provide telecommunications
services to any customer or prospective customer making a reasonable request for service within Albion's
exchanges. These expenses and investments are designed to bring high-quality, reliable voice services to
customers. However, given the nature of modern telecommunications facilities, the operating expenses and
investment in Albion's network also facilitate customers' access to broadband. Albion's anticipated
operating expenses and investments from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 will allow Albion's customers
to continue to benefit from high-quality, reliable, state-of-the-art services to customers.
The capital investment and operating expenses outlined above cannot be specifically linked to
particular funding sources. However, high-cost support from the USF will provide critical funding that,
when combined with other funding sources, will allow Albion to pursue these investments throughout the
network.
Outages
During 2011, the Company experienced no outages that met the Commission's order No. 29841 reporting
threshold.
Unfilled Service Requests
During 2011, Albion experienced no unfilled service requests.
Customer Complaints
During 2011, the company experienced 0 complaints per 1,000 customers in Idaho.
Description of the Applicants Local Usage Plan and That of the ILEC
A carrier seeking ETC recertification must demonstrate that it offers a local usage plan comparable to the
one offered by the incumbent LEC in the service areas for which the carrier seeks designation. Since
Albion is the incumbent LEC in its service territory, this requirement is inapplicable.
Equal Access
Albion is the only ETC in its service territory, and provides equal access to 100% of its customers so they
have access to several long distance service providers.
The federal high-cost support Albion will receive in 2013 and 2014 will continue to be used "only for the
provision, maintenance and upgrading of facilities and services for which such support is intended" as
outlined in 47 USC 254(e). Enclosed is an affidavit regarding Albion's use of universal service support
funds.
I respectfully request that the Commission notify the FCC and USAC prior to October 1, 2012, that Albion
is eligible to receive federal high-cost support for 2013.
Any questions or notifications of action taken on this matter should be directed to Richard L. Redman at
[phone], 225 W. North St., P0 Box 98, Albion, ID, 83311.
Sincerely,
Rich Redman
