PETITION OF INLAND CELLULAR
FOR DESIGNATION AS ELIGIBLE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER
- SUPPLEMENT 2
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 2l4(e)(2) of the Telecommunications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), 47
C. 9 2l4(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. That Supplement ("Supplement") was submitted to the IPUC and
interested parties and/or interveners of record on or about September 2006. On October 6
2006, IPUC Staff requested additional clarifications on paragraphs 26 and 28, and Inland
Cellular s certification. This filing is a supplement ("Supplement 2") made to further clarify
Inland Cellular s Petition to the IPUC for Designation of Inland Cellular as an ETc. In support
of the 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~inlandnetcom.
II.Paragraph 26. Two-year plan.
Attached as Supplement 2 - Exhibit A and Supplement 2 - Exhibit Al are
estimated population figures 1 covering the Inland Cellular service area in Idaho. Although in the
Supplement, estimated investment figures were provided for proposed sites, we re-iterate that
Inland Cellular is in a highly competitive business and in order to answer customer demand
Inland Cellular must have the flexibility to redirect investment to those areas requiring additional
facilities. This flexibility is also important in order to be in compliance with the requirement on
page 8 ofIPUC Order 29841 , as contained in the included certifications, which states:
ETC applicant must certify that it will: (1) provide service on a timely basis to
requesting customers within the applicant's service area where the applicant'
network already passes the potential customer s premises; and (2) provide service
within a reasonable period of time, if the potential customer is within the
applicant's licensed service area but outside its existing network coverage , if
service can be provided at reasonable cost by (a) modifying or replacing the
requesting customer s equipment; (b) deploying roof-mounted antenna or other
equipment; (c) adjusting the nearest cell tower; (d) adjusting network or customer
facilities; (e) reselling service from another carrier s facilities to provide service;
or (f) employing, leasing or constructing an additional cell site, cell extender
repeater, or other similar equipment"
III.Paragraph 28. A Commitment to Consumer Protection and Service.
I Information taken from the u.s. Census Bureau website http://www.census.goV, with a query of the State of
Idaho.
In the Supplement filed on September 26, 2006, Inland Cellular addressed its
commitment to consumer protection, location of customer service offices and office hours
however, Inland Cellular did not elaborate on other important areas of customer service; services
that Inland Cellular believes to be the backbone of why it can compete against the larger cellular
earners.
Order Fulfillment.Inland Cellular generally fills an order immediately. When a
customer comes into our customer service offices wanting cellular service from Inland Cellular
they generally leave the office with a working cellular device. The term "generally" is used
because there is such a large selection of cellular devices that Inland Cellular cannot stock every
make and model. If a customer wants a device that Inland Cellular does not normally carry, that
item would have to be ordered which may take up to a week to be delivered.
Besides the sales made in the customer service offices, which Inland Cellular
refers to as inside sales, Inland Cellular also has outside salespeople. Their job is to sell services
to businesses as well as individuals in areas where Inland Cellular may not have a convenient
customer service location. When making a sales call, the salesperson checks-out of inventory a
number of devices that they believe to be appropriate; generally after a telephone conversation
with the business or individual prior to the meeting. If the customer decides that they want a
device that the outside salesperson did not bring to the meeting then there may be a delay. If it is
a device that Inland Cellular has in stock, depending on the distance that the salesperson must
travel, the customer may receive service that day or the next.
Another avenue that a customer may attain service is through a contracted agent
of Inland Cellular. In Idaho, Inland Cellular has contracted agents in Cottonwood, Grangeville
Kamiah, Kooskia and Orofino. Again, if the agent has the device that the customer wants on
hand, the customer s service is immediately activated. If it is a device that Inland Cellular has in
its inventory, Inland Cellular will send an employee to the agent's location to delivery the
device.
Standard Resolution Goal for Outages. Inland Cellular assumes that this is
referring to its network. Inland Cellular s goal is to have zero outages and to the best of our
knowledge, we have not experienced a network outage however, ifthere was an outage at a cell
site, the outage could be limited to how long it would take for a our repair people to get to the
site and whatever repair time that was required. As part of the ability to remain functional in
emergencies that was unintentionally not mentioned in the Supplement, was that Inland Cellular
also has a cell site-on-wheels ("COW") that it can deploy when needed and has been deployed.
The most recent use of the COW was in Lewiston when Inland Cellular was having capacity
issues and needed to construct another site. The COW was placed in service at the location
where the site was being built and not turned-down until the site was turned-up.
An Inland Cellular customer may never know when or if an outage has occurred
since Inland Cellular has roaming agreements with its competitors. If a signal cannot be attained
from an Inland Cellular site, a signal may be obtained from a roaming partner.
Repair Problems. Inland Cellular assumes that this is referring to the customer
device. If a customer s device is no longer functional and the phone is either under warranty or
the customer would like it repaired, Inland Cellular provides the customer with a loaner at no
charge other then their regular monthly service charge while the device is being repaired.
