INTRODUCTION Q LINK WIRELESS LLC ("Q LINK" orthe "Company"), by its undersigned counsel, and pursuant to Section 2la@)Q) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),r Sections 54.101 through 54.207 of the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"),2 and the ldaho Public Utilities Commission's ("Commission") rules and regulations, hereby files this application to expand Q LINK's Eligible Telecommunications Carrier ("ETC") service area in the State of Idaho ("Application"). Q LINK was designated as a Lifeline-only ETC by the Commission by Order No. 32995 dated March 13,2014 in Case No. QLW-T-13-01 ("ETC Designation Order"). Q LINK requests to expand its ETC service area solely to provide Lifeline service to additional qualiffing tdaho households through participation in the federal Universal Service Fund's ("USF") low-income program and the Idaho Telephone Service Assistance Program ("ITSAP"). The Company does not seek access to USF support for the purpose of providing service to high-cost areas.3 ' 47 U.S.C. $ 2la(eX2) 2 47 C.F.R. $$ 54.101-54.207. 3 Given that Q LINK only seeks support from the low-income program and does not seek any high-cost support, ETC certification requirements for the high-cost program are not applicable to Q LINK. 1 As demonstrated herein, and as certified by Exhibit I affached hereto, Q LINK continues to meet all statutory and regulatory requirements for designation as an ETC, including the requirements outlined in the FCC's Lifeline Modernization Order.a Rapid grant of Q LINK's request would advance the public interest by enabling the Company to expand the availability of Lifeline service to many more low-income consumers in Idaho, especially in light of the current national state of emergency. Accordingly, Q LINK respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously approve this Application. All correspondence, communications, pleadings, notices, orders and decisions relating to this Application should be addressed to: Lance J.M. Steinhart Managing Attorney Lance J.M. Steinhart, P.C.

DESIGNATED SERYICE AREA ln the ETC Designation Order, the Commission designated Q LINK as an ETC within the wire centers listed in Exhibit 6 of the Company's application for designation as an ETC filed in Case No. QLW-T-13-01 ("ETC Application"). Q LfNK provides wireless Lifeline service to eligible Idaho Lifeline customers utilizing the Sprint Spectrum L.P. ("Sprinf') and/or T-Mobile USA, Inc. ("T-Mobile") wireless networks. Through its agreement with these underlying carriers, Q LINK customers benefit from Sprint and T-Mobile's ability to remain functional in emergency a In the Matter of Lifeline and Link Up Reform and Modernization, Telecommunications Caniers Eligible for Universal Service Support, Connect America Fund, WC Docket Nos. ll-42,00-197, 10-90, Third Report and Order, Further Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 16-38 (rel. Apr.27,2016) (hereinafter,"Third Report and Order" or "Lifeline Modernization Order"). 2 situations, including access to a reasonable amount of back-up power to ensure functionality without an external power source, the ability to reroute traffic around damaged facilities, and the capability of managing traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations. Q LINK seeks to revise its ETC designated service area as described in attached Exhibit 2 to include additional areas where Sprint and T-Mobile have wireless coverage.s Pursuant to 199 IAC 39.2(3)d, Q LINK adopts the exchange area maps on file with the Commission for the exchange areas listed in Exhibit 2. III. Q LINK MEETS APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS FCC rules, 47 C.F.R. $$ 54.201-54.202 (the "FCC ETC Rules"), set forth the information that must be contained in an application for designation as an ETC. In its ETC Application, incorporated herein by reference, Q LINK provided all of the information required by FCC ETC Rules in effect at the time, including those set forth in the FCC's Lifeline Reform Order.6 The Commission found in its ETC Designation Order that Q LINK met the requirements for designation as an ETC. Q LINK has complied with the conditions of its ETC designation and will continue to do so. In accordance with 47 C.F.R. $ 5a.202(a)(l)(i) and by the attached certification, Q LINK certifies that it will comply with the service requirements applicable to the support that it receives. Q LINK hereby also provides additional and updated information as a result ofthe FCC's Lifeline Modernization Order, which was issued after the Company's ETC Designation Order. 5 For convenience, Exhibit 2 contains the wire centers originally approved and the new proposed wire centers which are labeled accordingly. 6 In the Matter of Lifeline qnd Link Up Reform and Modernization, Lifeline and Link Up, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, Advancing Broadband Availability Through Digital Literacy Training, WC Docket No. ll-42, WC Docket No. 03-109, CC Docket No. 96-45, WC Docket No. 12-23, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC l2-l I (rel. Feb. 6,2012) ("Lifeline Reform Order"). aJ A. Provision of Supported Services Q LINK is able to provide all services supported by the universal service program, as detailed in Section 5a.l0l(a) ofthe FCC's Rules (47 C.F.R. $ 5a.l0l(a)), throughout its requested service area in the State ofldaho, including broadband Internet access service, a supported service as of December 2,2016. Q LINK commits that its Lifeline-supported services will continue to meet or exceed the minimum service standards set forth in 47 C.F.R. $ 54.408, including as they change going forward. The Company's current Lifeline offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.7 Q LINK currently offers these Lifeline wireless plans throughout its existing service area in Idaho. B. Eligibility Verification Q LINK determines eligibility of Lifeline subscribers in accordance with 47 C.F.R. $ 54.410, utilizing the streamlined eligibility criteria implemented by the Lifeline Modernization Order (see 47 C.F.R. $ 54.409). The FCC has taken steps to curb abuse in the Lifeline program by establishing the National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier ("National Verifier") which transfers the responsibility of eligibility determination away from Lifeline providers.s Q LINK will rely on the National Verifier to determine initial and ongoing eligibility of ldaho Lifeline subscribers. The National Verifier queries the National Lifeline Accountability Database ('NLAD") for every enrollment to determine whether a prospective subscriber is currently receiving a Lifeline service from Q LINK or any other ETC, and whether anyone else living at the prospective subscriber's residential address is currently receiving Lifeline service. As such, Q LINK complies with the requirements of 47 C.F.R. $54.404. 7 The Company's terms and conditions can be found at www.glinkwireless.com. 8 See Lifeline Modernizqtion Order, section III.C. 4 C. Non-Usage Policy Q LINK has updated its non-usage policy in compliance with changes in federal regulations. Q LINK will not seek reimbursement from the USF for inactive subscribers and will de-enroll any subscriber that has not used the Company's Lifeline service as set forth in 47 C.F.R. $ 5a.a07(c)(2). An account will be considered active if the authorized subscriber establishes usage, as "usage" is defined by 47 C.F.R. $ 5a.a07(c)(2), during the specified timeframe, currently a period of thirty (30) days, or during the notice period set forth in 47 C.F.R. $ 54.405(e)(3), currently a period of fifteen (15) days. In accordance with 47 C.F.R. $ 5a.a05(e)(3), Q LINK will provide the subscriber advanced notice, using clear, easily understood language, that the subscriber's failure to use the Lifeline service within the notice period will result in service termination for non-usage. ry. EXPAI\SION OF Q LINK'S ETC SERYICE AREA WOULD PROMOTE THE PUBLIC INTEREST In its ETC Designation Order, the Commission found that designation of Q LINK as an ETC would serve the public interest. Expansion of Q LINK's ETC service area will increase the number of low-income individuals that can benefit from the advantages offered by the Company's Lifeline service, ensuring they have access to wholly-supported or discounted wireless voice and broadband service, and will thus further the public interest by providing more low-income Idaho consumers with low-priced and high-quality services. Q LINK's prepaid wireless plans enable consumers to enjoy the benefits of wireless telecommunication and mobile broadband access without being subject to extensive credit reviews and long-term service commitments, which historically have prevented many low-income Americans, including many ldaho residents, from reaping the full benefits of the intensely competitive wireless market. 5 Q LINK offers a unique, easy to use, competitive, and highly affordable wireless telecommunications service, which benefits qualified consumers who either have no other service alternatives or who choose a wireless prepaid solution in lieu of more traditional service. Q LINK's Lifeline offerings compare favorably withthose of other competitive ETCs, and provide Lifeline customers with voice minutes, unlimited text messages, and a data allotment (with current plan options meeting the voice andbroadband minimum service standards), at no net cost to the customer after application of Lifeline and ITSAP support. In today's market, consumers, including qualified Lifeline customers, view the portability and convenience of wireless service not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Mobile service allows children to reach their parents wherever they may be, allows a person seeking employment greater ability to be contacted by potential employers, and provides end users with the ability to contact emergency service providers regardless of location. Mobile service often also serves as a key bridge in closing the homework gap for students who live in rural areas with limited access to broadband. Q LINK employs a state-of-the-art proprietary fraud prevention system and does not utilize agents or third-party representatives for Lifeline enrollment, and does not pay any commissions or sales incentives on Lifeline sign-ups. This model, which Q LINK has employed for almost the entirety of its Lifeline operations, was recently endorsed by the FCC which adopted an order to prevent Lifeline ETCs from paying commissions to agents.e This direct-to-customer model utilizes technology to protect against waste, fraud and abuse. Q LINK recognized the value of this approach early and has a detailed, proven methodology that has and will continue to give it a competitive advantage over its competitors, demonstrating Q LINK's commitment to being a e See In the Matter of Bridging the Digital Divide for Low-Income Consumers, Lifeline and Link (Ip Reform and Modernization, Telecommunications Carriers Eligible for Universal Seryice Support, WC Docket Nos. 17-287, I l- 42, 00-197 , Fifth Report and Order, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 19- l I I , (rel. Nov. 14,2019) (*Ftfth Report and Order"),1168. 6 trusted steward with public resources. Q LINK's business model is unique in that the Company is able to reach unserved and underserved Lifeline-eligible consumers, including in less dense areas that have not been a focus of other Lifeline providers; in fact, on average, eighty percent (80%) of Q LINK's customers are new and have not previously participated in the Lifeline program. With the comprehensive strength and experience of Q LINK's management team, the Company's proven technology-based business model, and Q LINK's solid history as a Lifeline provider, Q LINK is uniquely-positioned to meet the needs of Lifeline customers, utilizing the Company's innovative outreach and high integrity enrollment process, and Q LINK remains committed to careful stewardship of the Lifeline program. Without question, prepaid wireless services have become essential for low-income customers, providing them with value for their money, access to emergency services on wireless devices, and a reliable means of contact for prospective employers, social service agencies or dependents. Providing Q LINK with the authority necessary to offer discounted Lifeline services to eligible residents in additional areas of Idaho undoubtedly promotes the public interest. V. CONCLUSION Q LINK submits that the information contained herein, together with the information in the Company's ETC Application, incorporated herein by reference, demonstrates that Q LINK continues to meet the requirements for ETC designation and that expansion of Q LINK's ETC service area would promote the public interest. 7 WHEREFORE, Q LINK respectfully requests that the Commission promptly grant this Application and expand Q LINK's Lifeline-only ETC service anea as requested herein.
