For Designation as Eligible
Telecommunications Carriers
Under 47 U.C. 9214(e)(2)
PETITION OF INLAND CELLULAR
FOR DESIGNATION AS ELIGIBLE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER
- SUPPLEMENT
On June 29, 2006, Inland Cellular Telephone Company ("ICTC"), on behalf of
Washington RSA No.8 Limited Partnership d/b/a Inland Cellular (hereinafter referred to as
Inland Cellular" or the "Partnership ), filed a Petition to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
IPUC") for Designation of Inland Cellular as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier ("ETC"
pursuant to Section 214(e)(2) of the Telecommunications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), 47
US.C. 9 214(e)(2), and Section 54.201 of the Federal Communications Commission s ("FCC"
rules, 47 c.F.R. 954.201. To benefit the residents and promote business growth within Inland
Cellular s Idaho service area, benefit the State, further competition, and to provide lifeline
service, ICTC requested that Inland Cellular be designated as eligible to receive all available
support from the federal Universal Service Fund ("USF") including, but not limited to, support
for rural, insular and high-cost areas and low-income customers. On August 29 2006, Idaho
Public Utilities Commission ("IPUC") Staff requested further clarifications and noted
deficiencies to the Petition. This filing is a supplement made to clarify the June 29 2006;
correcting any deficiencies that were contained therein. In support of this Petition, the following
is respectfully submitted:
Name and Address of Petitioner
The name and address of Petitioner is Inland Cellular Telephone Company, 103
South 2nd Street, P.O. Box 688, Roslyn, Washington 98941. James K. Brooks shall be the
designated representative with the same mailing address as Petitioner. Official documents to be
sent electronically, are to be sent to jbrooks~inlandnet.com.
II.Typographical Error
In the June 29, 2006 filing, the paragraphs were out of sequence, jumping from
paragraph 7 to paragraph 10. This was merely a typographical error and the paragraphs should
have remained in sequence.
III.Paragraph 13. Voice Grade Access
In the June 29 2006 filing, paragraph 13 read as follows
, "
The Partnership
provides voice grade access to the public switched network through interconnection
arrangements with local telephone companies. The Partnership offers its subscribers this service
at bandwidth between 300 and 3 000 hertz as required by 47 c.F.R. 54.101(a)(I), thereby
providing voice grade access." The applicable interconnection agreements (and/or reciprocal
traffic exchange agreements) referred to are with Qwest, Verizon and Inland Telephone
Company. It is anticipated to have a traffic exchange agreement with TDS by year-end 2006.
Inland Cellular holds 20 000 numbers groups (208-790 and 208-791) in
Lewiston, Idaho, a 10 000 numbers group (208-827) in Orofino, Idaho, a 10 000 numbers group
(208-507) in Grangeville, a 10 000 numbers group (208-669) in Moscow, Idaho, 13 000 numbers
groups (509-330, 509-336-1000 through 1999, and 509-338-1000 through 2999) in Pullman
Washington, and 4 000 numbers groups (509-552-000 through 0999 509-552-2000 through
2999, and 509-751-6000 through 7999) in Clarkston, Washington. These numbers groups were
acquired from and assigned by Neustar through the North American Numbering Plan and
through them and the agreements, Inland Cellular customer s can call the Cottonwood
Grangeville, Moscow, Lewiston, Lapwai, Leon and Lenore wire centers in Idaho as local calls
and through wholesale rates terminate to all other Verizon exchanges; a charge not explicitly
passed on to Inland Cellular customers. As customer demand increases, Inland Cellular applies
for more numbers.
IV.Paragraph 14. Local Usage
In the June 29 2006 filing, paragraph 14 read as follows
, "
The Partnership has a
variety of rate plans that provide local usage consistent with 47 C.R. 9 54.101(a)(2). To date
the FCC has not quantified a minimum amount of local usage required to be included in a
universal service offering, but has initiated a separate proceeding to address this issue.lo As it
relates to local usage, the October 1998 NP RM sought comment on a definition of the public
service package that must be offered by all ETCs. Specifically, the FCC sought comment on how
much, if any, local usage should be required to be provided to customers as part of a universal
service offering. I I In the First Report and Order the FCC deferred a determination on the
amount of local usage that a carrier would be required to provide.12 Any minimum local usage
requirement established by the FCC will be applicable to all designated ETCs, and the
Partnership will comply with any and all minimum local usage requirements adopted by the FCC
or the IPUC.
As a cellular provider
, "
local usage plans" are difficult to determine since most
plans include toll and roaming; features generally requested and wanted by consumers. Inland
10 See Guam Cellular and Paging, Inc.CC Docket No. 96-, DA 02-174 at para. 11 (C.c.B.
reI. Jan. 25, 2002) Guamcell'J; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Further Notice o/Proposed Rulemaking, 13 FCC Rcd 21252 (1998)

II
See October 1998 NPRM, 13 FCC Rcd at 21277-21281.
12 See First Report and Order 12 FCC Rcd at 8813.
Cellular does keep what are close to a "minimum" local usage plans in its prepaid offerings.
Although seldom subscribed to, the Q150 plan s geared toward consumers that generally only
want local calling. For a one-time set-up fee of$20 and $19.95 a month, the customer receives
150 minutes of use, is charged $0.28 for additional minutes and charged $0.18 per minute of
long distance usage. An alternative for a "minimum" local usage plan may be the Tek Pale For
$29.95 per month, the customer receives 200 anytime minutes, unlimited incoming calls
unlimited cell-to-cell (Inland Cellular) calls, unlimited nights and weekend minutes and is
charged $0.18 per minute for long distance. Although the monthly rate is $10.00 greater, it
affords the customer with much greater minutes.
The term "local" is still precarious for Inland Cellular, since local service is
anywhere within the Inland Cellular service territory which includes the portion in Idaho relating
to this filing as well as a large portion of the eastern side of State of Washington. What Inland
Cellular believes to be its most popular rate plan is its US.A. 500 Plan. For $44.95 per month
the customer receives 500 anytime minutes, 50-state roaming, 5 000 incoming minutes, 5 000
cell-to-cell (Inland Cellular) minutes and no long distance.
Local usage is really not determined by what is offered by Inland Cellular in its
calling plans but by what the consumer wants, needs and fits their diverse lifestyles and calling
patterns. For the cellular provider, it is all about consumer choices and competition as
emphasized by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Paragraph 22. Lifeline and Link-up Advertising
In the June 29, 2006 filing, paragraph 22 read as follows
, "
Pursuant to Section
54.201 of the FCC's rules, 47 C.R. 954.201, the Partnership will advertise the availability of
each ofthe supported services detailed above, throughout its licensed service area, by media of
general distribution. The methods of advertising utilized may include television, radio
newspaper, magazine, direct mailings, public exhibits and displays, bill inserts, and telephone
directory advertising. (The) ETC designation will also enable Inland Cellular the ability to offer
and advertise the availability of Lifeline and Link-Up Assistance Programs.
10.Inland Cellular s marketing efforts will be similar to what is currently being
done in another jurisdiction where the Partnership has received the ETC designation. Inland
Cellular s over-all marketing expenses for 2005 were approximately $1.7 million and are
budgeted to be approximately $1.85 million. As previously mentioned, cellular is a highly
competitive business, requiring constant advertising to attain and retain customers.
11.There is no set budget for ETC advertising; it all falls into the marketing budget.
Inland Cellular makes specific ETC advertising bi-annually, for a one-week period; placing
advertisements in all known publications within its designated ETC service area. This
advertising has included placing ads in weekly and sometimes bi-weekly publications in small
rural towns. Depending upon the publication, the ads have been as large as a half page and as
small as three columns. Attached as Exhibit A, is a copy of the ad, in its actual size, as seen in
the Franklin County Gazzette. This is a weekly publication and it cost Inland Cellular
approximately $400 to run this for two consecutive weeks. This is an example of the ad that we
also placed in 18 other publications throughout the Inland Cellular designated ETC service area.
12.Besides the bi-annual publications, Inland Cellular has created posters for our
commercial sales offices. These posters are 2 Y2 feet by 3 feet and cover the "Lifeline and Link-
up Programs" portion of the ad and start out with "Do you qualify for a discount?" These posters
are not currently in our Moscow and Lewiston sales offices for fear that we would have to
explain to our Idaho customers why we cannot offer these programs to them. Inland Cellular
customer care representatives are also aware and are prepared to offer these programs to
qualifying customers. Attached as Exhibit's Band Bl , are the forms that were prepared by our
attorney to certify a customer for qualification.
VI.Paragraph 26. Two-year plan.
13.In the June 29, 2006 filing, paragraph 26 read as follows
, "
Its two-year plan
2006 and 2007, involves an estimated investment of $2, 1 00 000 in Idaho; budgeted sites or site
improvements at Genesee, Kamiah, Nuxall (near Kooskie), Troy, Track (outside of Moscow),
Highway 95 North and Highway 95 Summit. These sites will increase the availability of service
for rural Idaho and although not specifically addressed by the FCC or the IPUC, the majority of
the Idaho sites should be data capable (lXRTT platform) and then upgraded to broadband data
capable (EVDO) in the near future. Inland Cellular has budgeted for 19 sites to be upgraded to
EVDO (approximately $1 500 000) in 2006-2007, but have not committed to which sites. This is
in addition to the aforementioned $2 100 000 in Idaho sites. In addition, traffic loads are
constantly reviewed and additional carrier investment is added when the need is determined.
14.To expand on Inland Cellular s budget to cover the years 2007 and 2008 , it is
now known, that the EVDO upgrade will not happen until 2007, with 6 known sites in and
around Lewiston and Moscow being the first to be upgraded. As previously stated, lXRTT was
the first step for data capabilities, however the upgrade also increased efficiencies and distance
of coverage. Inland Cellular believes that the EVDO upgrade will further those efficiencies and
distances as well as give Inland Cellular its initial steps toward providing broadband services
over the cellular network.
15.It is also now known, that although budgeted for 2006, the Troy (covering Troy
and over-lap Joel), Track (outside of Moscow), Highway 95 North (covering Joel and Viola) and
Highway 95 Summit (covering Potlatch and Onaway) sites will not be built until 2007. This is
normal for Inland Cellular since it operates practically debt free and redirecting funds toward
other sites, sites that require improvement, expansion or new sites that are needed because of
demand, is standard operating procedure. As emphasized previously, cellular is a highly
competitive industry and in order to answer demand, the Company must have this flexibility in
order to remain competitive.
16.The Genesee site should be able to cover Genesee, Kendrick and Juliaetta, and
Inland Cellular s Orofino site would also over-lap Juliaetta.
17.Aside from the hold-overs from the 2006 budget, Inland Cellular has current
proposed new sites for 2007 and 2008, at Grangville (covering Grangeville and portions of
White Bird and Elk City), Lapwai, Culdesac and Lewiston for an estimated $1.4 million
investment. This is not a complete list since the capital improvement budget for 2008 has yet to
be completed and approved.
18.Besides capital improvements, Inland Cellular has budgeted expenses for
facilities, trunks, numbering resources, special access circuits, E911 , etc, of approximately $3.
million and $4.2 million for 2007 and 2008, respectively, and for plant operations and
maintenance expenses, $600 000 and $650 000 for 2007 and 2008, respectively. These budgeted
expense figures are for the total of Washington RSA No.8 Limited Partnership with
approximately forty percent of these expenses attributable to Idaho operations.
VII.Paragraph 27. The Ability to Remain Functional in Emergencies.
19.In the June 29, 2006 filing, paragraph 27 read as follows
, "
Inland Cellular has
battery back-up and a standby generator at the central office, as well as at all cell sites. The
generators are checked regularly and are alarmed for failure. Inland Cellular maintains
redundant routes to connect to the outside world should one route be cut-off. Inland Cellular has
technicians on call should trouble develop at any time.
20.The battery back-up can sustain power for no less then 4 hours. Initially, when
the power is lost, an alarm signals to the monitoring company (wirelessly) the power outage and
a crew is dispatched to the location.
21.On a local network basis, should a cell-site go completely dead, the service is
out. This can be likened to if a wireline switch or carrier cabinet were to go completely out; a
true catastrophic event. There is no re-routing if the location is dead. Unlike a wireline
customer however, the wireless customer could receive service from any of Inland Cellular
roaming partners should their service remain in tact and a signal can be obtained. The wireless
customer could also get into their automobile with their cellular phone until a signal is indicated
on their device. So as to provide the best possible service, Inland Cellular try s to over-lap it's
cellular site signals.
22.Should one of Inland Cellular s regulated microwave facilities that transport
signals between cell sites and back to the switch go completely dead, the customer may be
completely stranded. This would be similar to a complete cable cut between a wireline
subscriber cabinet and the wireline central office. The customer is generally without service
until the cut is repaired. Unlike the wire line customer, the cellular subscriber may obtain signal
from any of Inland Cellular s roaming partners should their service remain in tact and a signal
can be obtained. The wireless customer could also get into their automobile with their cellular
phone until a signal is indicated on their device.
23.As was stated, should a route go down between the switch location and
Lewiston, which is Inland Cellular s main connection to the world, there is a redundant route.
This scenario did happen this year and the redundancy worked; automatically re-routing traffic to
the alternative route.
24.Inland Cellular constantly monitors the traffic on its cell sites in order to
minimize congestion and dropped calls. As we near the 75 percent capacity mark, even if
spiked, the site is evaluated for anomalies and additional carrier is added to the site if the site is
capable and deemed appropriate. If the site is deemed to not be capable, an additional site is
added in the over-lapping vicinity. Such is the case in Lewiston with currently four sites. It is
planned in early 2007 to add an addition site in Lewiston as well as one in Washington near
Asotin that will be capable of serving a portion of the west side of Lewiston (up to the airport).
VIII.Paragraph 28. A Commitment to Consumer Protection and Service.
25.In the June 29, 2006 filing, paragraph 28 read as follows
, "
Customer service is
very important to Inland Cellular. It is the one portion of our business that we believe
distinguishes us from our competition in a highly competitive business. Although it can be time
consuming, we like for our customers to have a face for them to talk to should questions arise.
Pursuant to FCC regulations, Inland Cellular must certify that it complies with the Consumer
Proprietary Network Information rules, set forth in 47 CFR 964.2001 through 64.2009, to protect
consumer information.
26.As members ofthe Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association
CTIA"), Inland Cellular is aware of, agrees to comply with and will become signatories to
CTIA', Consumer Code for Wireless Service. According to the Code, wireless carriers will:
1. Disclose rates and terms of service to consumers;
2. Make available maps showing where service is generally available;
3. Provide contract terms to consumers and confirm changes in service;
4. Allow a trial period for new service (no less than 14 days);
5. Provide disclosures in advertising;
6. Separately identify carrier charges from taxes on billing statements (Truth in
Billing);
7. Provide customers the right to terminate service for changes to contract terms;
8. Provide ready access to customer service;
9. Promptly respond to consumer inquiries and complaints from government
agencies, and;
10. Abide by policies for protection of consumer privacy.
27.It is Inland Cellular s belief that it currently complies with the CTIA Code. For
Idaho, Inland Cellular has customer service locations in Moscow and two in Lewiston. The
office in Moscow is located in the Renaissance Mall, at 627 W. Pullman Road. Its office hours
are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The
office in Lewiston, located at 1332 G Street, is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
m. The office in Lewiston, located at 2331 Thain Grade, Suite 101 , is open Monday through
Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Besides having local telephone numbers, customer support may
also be reached toll free at [phone].
IX.Paragraph 29. Description of the Local Usage Plans
28.In the June 29, 2006 filing, paragraph 29 read as follows
, "
Inland Cellular offers
many calling plans for consumers to choose from that should fit their calling needs. The post-
pay plans range from $29.95 for unlimited minutes of in-network calling (within the Inland
Cellular calling area network cell-to-cell) per month and 200 other minutes to $789.95 for 5 000
minutes of in-network calling per month, 5 000 minutes of incoming calls per month and 8 000
minutes of calling per month within the 50 United States for no additional charges (i.e. no toll or
roaming when on another carriers network). Exhibit (C) lists the various calling plans offered by
Inland Cellular and are posted on its web site (www.inlandcellular.com)as well as the coverage
areas and other service offerings.
29.The previous paragraph should be corrected to mention the post-pay plan of
$19.95 for 150 minutes of non-toll usage. The monthly charge could also be $0., if the
customer elects to have pre-pay service and only charges their phone with minutes as needed at
$0.10 per minute. Rates for the various incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILEC' s ) are
included as Exhibits Cl (Verizon), C2 (Qwest), C3 (Inland Telephone Company), C4 (Potlatch
Telephone Company) and C5 (Citizens Telephone Co. d/b/a Frontier Communications) for
comparative purposes as well as Inland Cellular s rate plans (Exhibit C). Although the majority
of these ILEC's offer expanded coverage at an additional charge, they still do not afford the
customer with the convenience of mobility or the calling area that Inland Cellular can provide.
Statement of Need
30.Many residents of Idaho live in rural areas where it is cost-prohibitive for a
competitive wireline telecommunications company to offer service. As a result, consumers
generally have only one service provider from which to choose. The Partnership seeks to offer
citizens of Idaho in its service area an alternative to traditional wireline service. In order for the
Partnership s network to expand into underserved areas, federal high-cost funding must be
provided so that needed infrastructure can be fully deployed and competitive service can be
delivered.
31.By granting ETC status to the Partnership, this Commission will expedite the
provision of competitive telephone service to the people living in remote areas and provide a
meaningful choice for many subscribers who have access to only one service provider.
XI.Grant of ICTC's Application Would Serve the Public Interest
32.In areas served by non-rural LECs, the Commission can designate Inland Cellular
as an ETC upon finding that the company meets the nine-point checklist and that it agrees to
advertise the supported services.16 In areas served by a rural telephone company, the
Commission must also determine whether granting ETC status to a competitor would serve the
public interest.17 In numerous cases decided by the FCC and state commissions, the answer has
been in the affirmative.
33.Designation of the Partnership as an ETC will promote competition and facilitate
the provision of advanced communications services to the residents of rural Idaho. Residents in
many rural areas have long trailed urban areas in receiving competitive local exchange service
and advanced telecommunications services. In many rural areas, no meaningful choice of local
exchange carrier exists.
34.To date, a number of wireless carriers have been designated as ETCs in multiple
states.19 Recognizing the advantages wireless carriers can bring to the universal service program
the FCC has found that "imposing additional burdens on wireless entrants would be particularly
harmful to competition in rural areas, where wireless carriers could potentially offer service at

much lower costs than traditional wire line service. ,,20 One of the principal goals of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 was to "promote competition and reduce regulation in order to
secure lower prices and high-quality services for American telecommunications consumers and
encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies.21 Competition in
rural areas increases facilities and spurs development of advanced communications as carriers
vie for a consumer's business.
35.The FCC recognized that rural customers will benefit from the increased
availability of wireless service in its initial decision designating Western Wireless as an ETC in
the State of Wyoming, observing: "Designation of competitive ETCs promotes competition and
benefits consumers in rural and high-cost areas by increasing customer choice, innovative
services, and new technologies.22 Similarly, in designating the cellular carrier Smith Bagley,
Inc. as an ETC in Arizona, the state commission found competitive entry to provide additional
consumer choice and a potential solution to "health and safety risks associated with geographic
isolation.,,23 By designating a wireless carrier as an ETC, the IPUC will foster competition and
provide a meaningful choice of services and service providers to the residents of Idaho.
36.The public interest standard under Section 214(e)(2) for designating ETCs in
territories served by rural telephone companies emphasizes competition and consumer benefit

not incumbent protection. In considering the impact that Western Wireless' ETC designation in
Wyoming would have on rural telephone companies, the FCC said:
We do not believe that it is self-evident that rural telephone
companies cannot survive competition from wireless providers.
Specifically, we find no merit to the contention that designation of
an additional ETC in areas served by rural telephone companies
will necessarily create incentives to reduce investment in
infrastructure, raise rates, or reduce service quality to consumers in
rural areas. To the contrary, we believe that competition may
provide incentives to the incumbent to implement new operating
efficiencies, lower prices, and offer better service to its
customers.
Further, Congress has mandated that universal service provisions be "competitively neutral" and
necessary to preserve and advance universal service.See 47 US.C. 9 253(b). The Partnership
will provide consumers with wider local calling areas, mobile communications, a variety of
service offerings, high-quality service, and competitive rates. By offering customers new
choices, the incumbent LECs will have an incentive to introduce new, innovative, or advanced
service offerings.
37.In most rural areas, wireless telephone service is today a convenience, but it will
not emerge as a potential alternative to wireline service unless high-cost support is made
available to drive infrastructure investment. Indeed, without the high-cost program it is doubtful
that many rural areas would have wireline telephone service even today; in fact there are areas
within Inland Cellular s service area where wireline service is not available today. Provision of
high-cost support to Inland Cellular will begin to level the playing field with the incumbent
LECs and make available for the first time a potential competitor for primary telephone service
in remote areas of Idaho in the Idaho 1 (B-2) RSA and the Idaho 2 (B-2) RSA.
24 Western Wireless, supra 16 FCC Rcd at 57.
38.The consumer benefits of designating a competitive ETC are already becoming
evident. In South Dakota, shortly after WWC License, LLC entered the market as a competitive
carrier, the incumbent LEC lowered its prices and upgraded its switch. Competitive carriers in
Arizona and Mississippi have earmarked high-cost support funds for additional channel capacity,
new cell sites, and expedited upgrading of facilities from analog to digital.
39.With high-cost support, Inland Cellular will have an opportunity to create a
network that is capable of convincing customers to rely on wireless service as their primary
phone.
XII.High-Cost Certification
40.Under FCC Rule Sections 54.313 and 54.314, carriers wishing to obtain
high-cost support must either be certified by the appropriate state commission or, where the state
commission does not exercise jurisdiction, self-certify with the FCC and the Universal Service
Administrative Corporation ("USAC") their compliance with Section 254(e) of the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996.47 c.F.R. 99 54.313 , 54.314. ICTC has attached hereto its
affidavit containing certifications pursuant to IPUC Order No. 29841. ICTC respectfully requests
that the IPUC issue a finding that the Partnership has met the high-cost certification requirement
and that the Partnership is, therefore, entitled to begin receiving high-cost support as of the date
it receives a grant ofETC status in order that funding will not be delayed.
WHEREFORE, pursuant to Section 214(e)(2) of the Act, ICTC respectfully requests that
the Commission, (1) enter an Order designating the Partnership as an ETC for its requested ETC
service area as shown on the map in its previous Exhibit A, and (2) certify to the FCC that the
Partnership will use the support for its intended purpose.

INLAND CELL ULAR ADVERTISEMENT
Inland Cellular (Inland Cellular is the trade name of both Eastern Sub-RSA Limited Partnership and
Washington RSA No.8 Limited Partnership) has been a local cellular telephone provider in eastern
Washington since approximately 1992. In Washington, Inland Cellular s service area covers the
eastern half of Grant County and the majority of Adams. Asotin, Columbia, Garfield. Lincoln,
Whitman. and WallaWaliil Counties Imd ~'minorportion ofFrank1i~Cpu~ty.
During the intervening years, we have worked hard to build a cellular system that would provide high
quality telecommunications services to the communities we serve. We have done this, notwithstanding
the higher costs of serving rurai areas in the State of Washington and are always striving to provide
even better service.
We have served and intend to continue to serve ,th residential and business customers in our service
, area with high quality telecommunications services at attractive ,and affordable rates,

receive Lifeline Support for any other telecommunications service. I understand that if I no longer qualify for support
for any reason, I am not entitled to receive such support and that in order to continue to receive this support, I must
