Oregon-ldaho Utilities, lnc.
2015 Progress report on 5Yr. Service Quality improvement plan
Program Year 2016
Thisdocumentisanintegral partoftheCompany's2015AnnualReport,asattachedtoForm4Sl. ltisin
compliance with 554.313(aX1) adopted in the FCC's USF/ICC Transformation Order (11-L61) and
incorporates all further clarifications identified in subsequent Reconsideration Orders, as applicable,
that were in effect at the time the Annual Report was submitted to the requisite regulatory authorities.
Questions about this report should be submitted to Doug Musgrave, Manager, at [phone] or by
e-mail at [e-mail].
Oregon-ldaho Utilities, lnc. is a small, rural, privately owned lndependent Local Exchange Carrier
operating in the states of Oregon and ldaho. OIU is headquartered at 1023 N. Horton St., Nampa,ldaho
83651. We are Oregon and ldaho State Public Utilities Commissions certificated and an Eligible
Telecommunications Carrier throughout our authorized service areas in Oregon and ldaho. We are a
NECA member company and receive high cost support through Federal and State Universal Service
mechanisms.
Oregon-ldaho Utilities advises that the environment in which the Company operates is dynamic, not
static. As a result, certain network targets identified in our initial 5 Year Network lmprovement Plan
filed in 2014 may be modified in response to the fast changing regulatory environment at both the
Federal and State levels. The feasibility of each project must be regularly reviewed giving consideration
to its implications upon the Company's financial viability in addition to their impacts on our capability to
provide required services and maintenance of service quality. When a project is no longerviable
because of financial, technological, or vendor related reasons, less costly alternatives of achieving the
desired service improvement may be examined. Targets not met or that have changed since the initial
5 Year Plan Filing are identified and reasons provided for those changes.
According to USAC, year to date thru the end of May 2015, OIU has received a total of $790,447 in
Federal Support. The receipt of that support can be broken down by category as follows:
High Cost Loop Fund 5399,544
Safety Net Additive S 7,450
Local Switching Support S 0
CAF-ICC Support 5176,616tcLS s206,837
Universal Service Support funds are used to maintain, upgrade, and improve the Company's network,
cover operating expenses and debt commitments as necessary to permit it to offer a high level of
service for both voice and broadband within our authorized study area. USF Support will continue to be
included in the Company's current revenue accounts and forward-looking projections. Revenues, in the
aggregate, are used for both capital expenditures and to cover operating expenses and fixed costs
incurred to obtain capital from lenders. The Company does not segregate USF separately for purposes
of tracking its use to cover capital and operating expenditures; USF is expended in the same proportion
as its contribution is to the Company's aggregate revenue amount.
The preparation of financial data for the company can take several weeks beyond the close of the
financial period. Atthepreparationofthisreport,completefinancialdatahadbeencompiledand
prepared through the end of April 2015. As of April 2015 the proportionate share of USF expenditures
to date for 2015 is estimated by the company as follows:
CAPEX 57,904 oPEX s782,543
ln the USF/ICC Transformation Order the FCC determined that rural rate of return carriers are only
required to extend broadband capabilities within their areas in the existence of a reasonable request for
service by a prospective broadband customer. ln the Seventh Order of Reconsideration, the FCC
clarified the circumstances which constitute a reasonable request. Further section 67 clarifies that a
request is considered unreasonable if it required the carrier to undertake plant improvements merely
for the purpose of providing a new broadband service if such improvements would likely force the
carrier above the 5250.00 per line monthly cap or if the carrier were already experiencing support
reductions as a result of that cap.
The 5 Year Plan submitted by OIU as a part of our Project Year 2015 Annual Report was created prior to
the FCC's clarification of a reasonable request. As a result, the projects mentioned in that 5 year plan
did not take into account that OIU is and has experienced support reductions as a direct result of the
5250.00 per line monthly cap since the cap was enacted. All projects considered for construction by OIU
must weigh the potential benefits against the financial impact of the undertaking. Following is a
description of the broadband expansion projects that were planned for calendar year 2015.
South Mountain Exchange DSLAM project - Program Year 2016
This project encompasses the placement of additional fiber optic facilities and the addition of a new
DSLAM site in the Pleasant Valley Exchange of ldaho to extend coverage of 4/L broadband service to 9
customers along South Mountain Road and increase voice service quality by shortening the voice loops.
Two of the nine customers have expressed interest in receiving broadband service in the past if it were
available but it is not practical to build a project that only serves part of the available customers in an
area. The estimated cost of this project was approximately 522,000.00 per customer and the project
will only allow a maximum of 4lt capabilities to all but two of the households in the build area. The
costs of this project are prohibitive notwithstanding the 5250.00 per line monthly cap. This project has
been placed on indefinite hold.
Upgrade Existing FTTP Systems Jordan Valley Exchange - Program Year 2015
This project involved hardware and software upgrades to our existing FTTP systems in the Jordan Valley,
Oregon Exchange. As this FTTP system ages, it requires certain upgrades that are necessary to keep the
system operational, this is a service Quality lssue. This project is still scheduled for the latter half of
2015 and will be scaled back to save costs where practical, The project is estimated to cost less than
525,000.00 to complete and will affect approximately 20 voice and or broadband customers.
All Exchanges - Program Year 2015
Oregon-ldaho Utilities is in progress of performing software upgrades at our existing DSLAM locations
that will allow us to utilize VDSL technologies. This project is an upgrade to increase capacity and
improve coverage with higher rate broadband speeds to our existing broadband customers in our
attempt to keep pace with the rapidly increasing broadband transfer rates mandated by federal
regulators. ThecostoftheseupgradesisestimatedtobelessthanSs,000.00totalandwillaffectallOlU
broadbandcustomers. lnadditionweareintheprocessofincreasingthebandwidthofourmiddlemile
and upstream provider links to maintain service quality to our existing customers. These projects were
not planned in the 2015 5 year plan but have become necessary for OIU to remain a viable provider of
broadband services to all of our customers.
Capabilities currently exist to provide 4 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream broadband service to
all known community anchor institutions within the OIU Study Area. No new broadband services were
installed to community anchor institutions in the OIU study area in fiscalyear 2014.

inventory of portable generators which can be manually deployed to remain operational during
extended commercial power loss events. Our class 5 switch and second tier remote sites have
emergency stand alone capabilities to continue operation during an isolation event. All main switch,
second tier remote switch, and remote concentrator sites have redundant transport paths allowing
them to re-route traffic in the event of an emergency.
All switching, coilcentrator and transport equipment have redundant critical systems to continue
operation during an internal card failure. We maintain a Rural Utilities Service recomrnended standard
set of spare cards and parts in house for all mission critical systems. Routine maintenance is conducted
on all mission crit,ical systems. OIU also has an automated alarm rnonitor system in ptace that alerts
company personnel of system malfunctions 24 hours a day,7 days per week, 365 days per year. Our
network was engineered to exceed generally accepted traffic handling standards within the industry to
assure continued operation during traffic spikes and during busy hour and busy day events.
