FOR LIMITED DESIGNATION AS AN ELIGIBLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER 1. INTRODUCTION Total Call Mobile, Inc. ("Total Call" or the "Company"), pursuant to Section 214(e)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")', Sections 54.101 through 54.207 of Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Rules 2, and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission's ("Commission") rules and regulations hereby submits this Application for Limited Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier ("ETC") in the State of Idaho. Total Call seeks ETC designation solely to provide Lifeline service to qualifying Idaho consumers; it will not seek access to funds from the federal Universal Service Fund ("USF") for the purposes of participating in the Link-Up program or providing service to high cost areas.4 As '47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(2). 247 C.F.R. §* 54.101-54.207. See In the Matter of the Application of WWC Holding Co., Inc. d/b/a Cellular-one Seeking Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier that may Receive Federal Universal Service Support, Order No. 29841 (August 4, 2005) ("Commission Order No. 29841"). "Given that Total Call only seeks Lifeline support from the low-income program and neither seeks participation in the Link-Up program nor high-cost support, ETC certification requirements for the high-cost program are not applicable to Total Call. Moreover, as a reseller, Total Call does not own or control any networks or other facilities. As such, Total Call has no basis for filing an investment plan, and therefore requests the Commission to waive this requirement. Total Call is currently designated as an ETC in Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, Texas and West Virginia, currently has applications for ETC designation pending with Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington, and is awaiting designation as an ETC by the 1 demonstrated herein, and as certified by Total Call's COO in Exhibit 1 to this Application, Total Call meets all the statutory and regulatory requirements for designation as an ETC in the State of Idaho., including the new requirements outlined in the FCC's USF/ICC Transformation Order 5 and Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order.6 Rapid grant of Total Call's request, moreover, would advance the public interest because it would enable the Company to commence much needed Lifeline services to low-income Idaho residents as soon as possible. Accordingly, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously approve this Application for ETC designation II. TOTAL CALL'S UNIVERSAL SERVICE OFFERING A. Company Overview Total Call is a Delaware Corporation.7 Its principal office is located at 1411 W. 190th St., Suite 700, Gardena, California 90248. Total Call provides nationwide, prepaid and postpaid wireless telecommunications services to consumers by reselling the network services of Sprint PCS ("Sprint"). Total Call obtains from Sprint the network infrastructure and transmission facilities to allow the Company to operate as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator ("MVNO"), FCC in the states of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia; no such petitions have been denied. In the Matter of Connect America Fund, A National Broadband Plan for Our Future, Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers, High-Cost Universal Service Support, Developing a Unified Intercarrier Compensation Regime, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, Lifeline and Link-Up, Universal Service Reform - Mobility Fund, WC Docket No. 10-90, GN Docket No. 09-51, WC Docket No. 07-135, WC Docket No. 05-337, CC Docket No. 96-45, WC Docket No. 03-109, WT Docket No. 10-208, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11-161 (rel. Nov. 18, 2011) ("USF/ICC Transformation Order'). 6 In the Matter of Lifeline and 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. 11-42, 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 12-11 (rel. Feb. 6, 2012) ("Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order"). Total Call was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 11, 2005. The Company hereby reports its corporate and trade names, along with its holding company, operating companies and affiliates as follows: Total Call International is the parent of Total Call Mobile, Inc.; KDDI of America is the majority owner of Total Call International; Locus Telecommunications and KDDI Global are affiliates of Total Call International. 2 similar to Cricket Communications, Inc. ("Cricket Communications"), which has been granted ETC status by the Commission.8 Total Call's wireless services, which are affordable and easy to use, are attractive to low- income and lower-volume consumers because they provide low-income and lower-volume consumers with access to emergency services and a reliable means of communication that can be used at home or while traveling to remain in touch with friends and family, as well as a means of contacting prospective employers. Total Call offers consumers simple and affordable calling plans, a variety of prepaid and postpaid service plans, easy-to-use handsets, and high-quality customer service. Based on internal surveys, targeted pricing and marketing strategies, and the demographics of other, similar Mobile Virtual Network Operators' ("MVNO") customers, Total Call anticipates that many of its customers will be from low-income backgrounds and will not have previously enjoyed access to wireless service because of economic constraints, poor credit history, or sporadic employment. Total Call does not conduct credit checks or require customers to enter into long-term service contracts as a prerequisite to obtaining prepaid wireless service or its proposed Lifeline program service. By providing affordable wireless plans and quality customer service to consumers who are otherwise unable to afford them, or who were previously ignored by traditional carriers, Total Call will expand the availability of wireless services to an increased number of consumers and in doing so, address Congress' principal goal for the universal service program. B. Proposed Lifeline Plans Total Call has the ability to provide all services and functionalities supported by the universal service program, as detailed in revised FCC Rule 54.101(a)9 throughout the State of 81n the Matter of the Application of Cricket Communications, Inc. for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, Case No. CRI-T-1 1-01, Order No. 32501 (March 27, 2012) ("Cricket ETC Order"). 3 Idaho. Total Call intends to be a leader in the wireless marketplace by offering exceptional value and competitive amounts of voice usage at all price points to consumers. Lifeline Offering. The Company's prepaid Lifeline service offering will provide customers with the same features and functionalities enjoyed by all Total Call prepaid customers. As demonstrated by Exhibit 2, Total Call's Lifeline service offering proposes to give eligible customers five (5) Lifeline Plan choices'°: 1.150 Minute Plan. Under Lifeline Plan 1, eligible customers enjoy a free handset, 150 anytime minutes per month. Said minutes can be used for domestic calls or international calling to 250 locations for no additional per minute charge. As an option, customers may use text, inbound or outbound, which consumes 1 Plan minute. Additional usage is priced at 10 cents per minute and 5 cents per text. Except for the 250 included international locations, there is an additional per minute charge to make international calls. 2.250 Minute Plan. Under Lifeline Plan 2, eligible customers receive a free handset and 250 anytime minutes per month. As an option, customers may use text, inbound or outbound, which consumes 1 Plan minute. Additional usage is priced at 10 cents per minute and 5 cents per text. 3.Discounted Regular Plans. Eligible customers may apply the Company's Lifeline discount of $10.00 (i.e. which is greater than the $9.25 11 currently provided by the FCC) to the Company's 1000 Talk & 1000 Text retail plan (regularly $29.99) (Lifeline Plan 3), 30-day Unlimited Talk & Text retail plan (regularly $39.99) 9 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 207, revised § 54.101(a). '° In accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(5), the Company's Lifeline terms and conditions can be found at www.totalcallmobile.com . See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 5. ru (Lifeline Plan 4), the 30-day Unlimited Talk, Text & Data retail plan (regularly $49.99) (Lifeline Plan 5). Total Call does not impose burdensome credit checks or long-term service contracts on its prepaid customers. All Lifeline plans come with a free handset, free customer care calls, free balance inquiries, and access to voice mail, caller I.D. and call waiting features at no additional charge. Also, customers are not bound by a local calling area requirement; all Total Call plans come with domestic long distance at no extra per minute charge and exceptional nationwide digital coverage on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Given this nationwide coverage, there is minimal need for roaming. As an additional precaution, Total Call blocks roaming ability on its Lifeline handsets so that customers will not incur unexpected roaming charges. Calls to 911 emergency services are always free, regardless of service activation or availability of minutes. As demonstrated by Exhibit 2, the Company's Lifeline offerings will not only allow feature-rich mobile connectivity for qualifying subscribers at no cost to the subscriber, but will also give eligible customers access to a variety of rate plans that are comparable in minutes and features to those available to post-paid wireless subscribers but at low Lifeline rates and without the burden of credit checks or service contracts. Total Call's prepaid offering, therefore, will be an attractive alternative for consumers who need the mobility, security, and convenience of a wireless phone, but who are concerned about usage charges or long-term contracts. C. Plan Enrollment Customers interested in obtaining information on the Lifeline program will be directed to a toll-free telephone number and to the Company's website, which will contain information regarding Total Call's Lifeline service plans, including a detailed description of the programs and state-specific eligibility criteria. Applicants must complete the enrollment form, which will 5 require all consumers, at sign up and annually thereafter, to provide the information and certifications, under penalty of perjury, required by revised FCC Rule 54.410(d).'2 See Exhibit 3 for more detailed enrollment information. D. Prevention of Waste, Fraud and Abuse Total Call recognizes the importance of the USF. As such, the Company has implemented the following 90-day non-usage policy in an effort to avoid waste, fraud, and abuse of the program. Total Call will not consider a prep 'aid subscriber activated, and will not seek reimbursement for Lifeline for that subscriber, until the subscriber activates the Company's prepaid service through usage of the service.'3 In additioi, after service activation, Total Call will provide a de-enrollment notice to subscribers that have not used their service for 60 days. After 60 days of non-use, Total Call will provide notice to the subscriber that failure to use the Lifeline service within a 30-day notice period will result in dc-enrollment.'4 For these purposes, subscribers will be considered to "use" the service by: (1) completing an outbound call; (2) purchasing minutes from the Company to add to the subscriber's plan; (3) answering an incoming call from a party other than the Company; or (4) responding to a direct contact from the Company and confirming that the subscriber wants to continue receiving the service.15 If the subscriber does not respond to the notice, the subscriber will be dc-enrolled and Total Call will not request further Lifeline reimbursement for the subcriber. Customers that have been deactivated may participate in the Company's Lifeline service in the future by reapplying and re- establishing eligibility. III. THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILIIES DESIGNATE WIRELESS ETCS 12 Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 227-29. 13 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1257; 47 C.F.R. § 54. 14 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1257; 47 C.F.R. § 54. 15 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1261; 47 C.F.R. § 54. ON HAS JURISDICTION TO c)(1). The Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commi authorize the limited ETC designation requested herein. 16 state public utility commissions with the "primary Although Section 332(c)(3)(A)18 of the Act prohibits rates charged by, any provider of commercial mobile prohibition does not allow states to deny wireless has the requisite jurisdiction to 214(e)(2) of the Act provides ility" for the designation of ETCs.'7 from regulating the entry of, or the or any private mobile service, this ETC status.19 Therefore, the Commission has the authority to designate Total Call as an Pursuant to this authority, the Commission has hitorically participated in determining whether to grant ETC status to an applying carrier, including any requesting wireless carrier.20 Under the Act, a state public utility commission with jurisdictional authority over ETC designations must designate a common carrier as an ETC if the carrier satisfies the requirements of Section 214(e)(1). Total Call establishes below that it currently meets all of the requirements of Section 214(e)(1). Thus, the Commission has the authority under Section 214(e)(2) of the Act to grant Total Call's request for designation as an ETC throughout the State of Idaho. A. The ETC Designation Request is Consistent with Recent Commission Precedent Total Call's request for ETC designation to participate in the Lifeline program is consistent with the Commission's recent designation of Cricket Communications as an ETC.2' In its decision, the Commission determined that Cricket communications satisfied all of the necessary eligibility requirements, and that designation of a prepaid wireless provider as an ETC would serve the public interest. Total Call requests that the Commission expeditiously process 16 IDAHO STATUTES § 62-610D. 1747 U.S.C. § 214(e(2). 18 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(3)(A). 19 Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, First Report (199 7) ("USFOrder'). 20 e.g., Cricket ETC Order. 21 See e.g. Cricket ETC Order. Order, 12 FCC Rcd 8776, 8858-59, 1145 7 its ETC Application so that it can quickly commence iding qualifying low-income Idaho customers with affordable USF-supported wireless times. Designating Total Call as an ETC would services, would offer Lifeline-eligible consumers an they may access telecommunications services, and of ensuring all low-income consumers have the associated with having access to wireless services. IV. TOTAL CALL SATISFIES THE REQ ETC during these challenging economic competition for wireless Lifeline inal choice of providers from which a significant step towards the goal to share in the many benefits FOR DESIGNATION AS AN Section 254(e) of the Act provides that "only an li eligible telecommunications carrier designated under Section 214(e) shall be eligible to support." Section 214(e)(2) of the Act authorizes state designate ETC status for federal universal service designate wireless ETCs.22 Section 21 4(e)( 1 )(A) of 54.201(d)(1), and Commission Order No. 29841 at for ETC designation must be common carriers that will universal service, either using their own facilities or a resale of another carrier's services, unless granted FCC.23 Pursuant to Section 214(e)(1)(B), FCC Rule 54 29841 at Appendix ¶A.3, applicants must also commit to such services. 24 Additional requirements for Commission specific federal universal service such as the Commission, to and authorizes the Commission to Act, FCC Rules 54.101(b) and ¶A. 1 and 2 provide that applicants all of the services supported by ion of their own facilities and the from this requirement by the 1(d)(2), and Commission Order No. the availability and rates of of ETCs are set forth in 22 USF Order, at 8858-59, 1145. 2347 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1), 47 C.F.R. § 54.201(b) and (d)(1), and 0 14 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1) and 47 C.F.R. § 54.201(d)(2); Order No. No. 29841 at Appendix IA. 1 and 2.. 341 at Appendix ¶A.3. revised FCC 54.202 .25 As detailed below, Total Call satisfies each of the above-listed requirements. A. Total Call Will Provide Service Consistent with the FCC's Grant of Forbearance from Section 214's Facilities Requirements Total Call recognizes that Section 21 4(e)( 1 )(A) of the Act and FCC Rule 54.201(d)( 1)26 require ETCs to offer services, at least in part, using their own facilities, and that FCC Rule 54.201 (i)27 prohibits state commissions from designating as an ETC a telecommunications carrier that offers services exclusively through the resale of another carrier's services. However, the FCC granted Total Call forbearance from the facilities-based service requirement in its Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order. 21 Section 10(e)29 of the Act provides: "[a] State commission may not continue to apply or enforce any provision of this chapter that the [Federal Communications] Commission has determined to forbear from applying under subsection (a) of this section." As such, the Commission is required by Section 10(e) to act in accordance with the FCC's grant of forbearance to Total Call, and therefore may not apply the facilities-based requirement to Total Call. Total Call, in its provision of wireless services, will rely on resold services which the Company will obtain from underlying wireless carriers that currently operate their own networks. In its Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, the FCC granted Total Call's request for forbearance from the facilities requirement, and stated, "the Commission will forbear from the 25 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 208, revised § 54.202. 26 See 47 U.S.C. § 214(e)(1) and 47 C.F.R. § 54.201(d)(1). 2747 C.F.R. § 54.201(i). 28 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order 152 1; see also Total call Mobile, Inc. Petition for Forbearance, WC Did. No. 09-197 (filed May 25, 2011) 29 U.S.C. § 160(e). "own-facilities" requirement contained in Section 21 4(e)( 1 )(A) for carriers that are, or seek to become, Lifeline-only ETCs, subject to the following conditions: 30 "(1) the carrier must comply with certain 911 requirements [(a) providing its Lifeline subscribers with 911 and E91 1 access, regardless of activation status and availability of minutes; (b) providing its Lifeline subscribers with E91 1 -compliant handsets and replacing, at no additional charge to the subscriber, noncompliant handsets of Lifeline-eligible subscribers who obtain Lifeline-supported services; and (c) complying with conditions (a) and (b) starting on the effective date of this Order]; and (2) the carrier must file, and the Bureau must approve, a compliance plan providing specific information regarding the carrier's service offerings and outlining the measures the carrier will take to implement the obligations contained in this Order as well as further safeguards against waste, fraud and abuse the Bureau may deem necessary." Total Call will avail itself of the FCC's grant of blanket forbearance. In accordance with the Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, Total Call filed its Compliance Plan, which the FCC approved on May 25, 2012. A copy of Total Call's Compliance Plan, as approved, is attached hereto as Exhibit 5. Total Call commits to providing Lifeline service in Idaho in accordance with its Compliance Plan. B.Total Call Is a Common Carrier CMRS providers like Total Call are treated as common carriers for regulatory purposes. 31 Total Call is a common carrier as that term is defined in the Act 32 and, as such, is eligible for designation as an ETC 33. C.Total Call Will Provide All Required Services and Functionalities 30 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at ¶11 368, 373 and 379. Implementation of Sections 3(n) and 332 of the Communications Act, Regulatory Treatment of Mobile Services, GN Docket No. 93-252, Second Report and Order, 9 FCC Red 1411, 1425 ¶ 37, 1454-55 1102 (1994) (wireless resellers are included in the statutory "mobile services" category, and providers of cellular service are common carriers and CMRS providers); 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(1)(A) ("mobile services" providers are common carriers); see also PCIA Petition for Forbearance for Broadband PCS, WT Docket No. 98-100, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 13 FCC Rcd 16857, 16911 ¶ 111 (1998) ("We concluded [in the Second Report and Order] that CMRS also includes the following common carrier services: cellular service, ... all mobile telephone services and resellers of such services.") (emphasis added). 32 See 47 U.S.C. § 153(h)(10). This statement satisfies Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A. 1. 10 Through its wholesale arrangement with Sprint, Total Call offers, or will offer upon designation as an ETC in Idaho, all of the services and functionalities required by revised FCC Rules 54.101(a)34 and 54.202(a)35, and Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2 36, including the following: 1.Voice Grade Access to the Public Switched Telephone Network Total Call provides the voice grade access to the public switched telephone network ("PSTN") required by revised FCC Rule 54.101(a)37 and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(a)38 through the purchase of wholesale CMRS services from Sprint. 2.Minutes of Use for Local Service As part of the voice grade access to the PSTN, an ETC is required by revised FCC Rule 54.101(a)39 and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(b)4° to provide minutes of use for local service at no additional charge to end-users. The FCC has determined that a carrier satisfies the local usage requirements when it offers customers rate plans containing varying amounts of local usage. 41 Total Call offers a variety of rate plans that provide its customers with minutes of use for local service at no additional charge. 3.Dual Tone Multi-Frequency Signaling or its Functional Equivalent Pursuant to Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(c)42, Total Call provides 34 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 207, revised § 54.101(a).

" See e.g., Farmers Cellular, Inc., CC Docket No. 96-45, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 18 FCC Red 3848, 3852 ¶ 9 (2003); Pine Belt Cellular, Inc. and Pine Belt PCS, Inc., CC Docket No. 9645, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 17 FCC Rcd 9589, 9593 110 (2002); Western Wireless Corp., Petition for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier in the State of Wyoming, CC Docket No. 96-45, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 16 FCC Red 48, 52 ¶ 10 (2000). 41 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(c). 11 dual tone multi-frequency ("DTMF") signaling to expedite the transmission of call set up and call detail information throughout the network. All wireless handsets offered for sale by the Company are DTMF-capable. 4.Single-Party Service or its Functional Equivalent "Single-party service" means that only one party will be served by a subscriber loop or access line during a telephone transmission. Pursuant to Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(d)43, Total Call provides single party service to its customers for the duration of each telephone call, and does not provide multi-party (or "party-line") services. 5.Access to 911 and E911 Emergency Service Total Call provides 911 and E911 access for all of its customers to the extent the local government in its service area has implemented 911 or E911 systems. Total Call provides 911 and E911 access for all of its customers even when there is a zero dollar balance on a handset consistent with the requirements of revised FCC Rule 54.101(a) and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(e)44 . Total Call also complies with the FCC's regulations governing the deployment and availability of E91 I compatible handsets. 6.Access to Operator Services In accordance with Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(f)45, Total Call offers all of its customers access to operator services, in accordance with the FCC's requirements. 7.Access to Interexchange Service In accordance with Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(g)46, Total Call's See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(d). See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 207, revised § 54.101(a), Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(e). See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(f). 41 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(g). 12 service provides its customers with the ability to make interexchange, or long distance, telephone calls. In fact, interexchange calls are included in the Company's standard per minute pricing with no additional per minute charge (i.e. if you are on the Anytime Plan paying 10 cents per minute for airtime, there is no extra per minute charge if the call is a domestic long distance call). 8.Access to Directory Assistance In accordance with Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(h)47, All Total Call customers are able to reach directory assistance services from their wireless handsets. 9.Toll Limitation for Qualified Low-Income Customers FCC Rule 54.101(a) requires toll limitation services to qualifying low-income consumers. However, in its Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, the FCC stated that toll limitation would no longer be deemed a supported service .48 "ETCs are not required to offer toll limitation service to low-income consumers if the Lifeline offering provides a set amount of minutes that do not distinguish between toll and non-toll calls.'-A9 Nonetheless, in accordance with and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(i)50, Total Call's offerings inherently allow Lifeline subscribers to control their usage, as its wireless service is offered on a prepaid pay-as-you-go basis. Total Call's services, moreover, are not offered on a distance-sensitive basis and local and domestic long distance minutes are treated the same. Total Call will not seek reimbursement for toll limitation service. D. Total Call Will Advertise the Availability of Supported Services Total Call will advertise the availability and rates for the services described above using media of general distribution as required by Section 214(e)(1)(B) of the Act, FCC Rule 47 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(h). 48 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1367. 49 See id. at ¶ 49. '0 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.2(i). 13 54.201(d)(2)51 , Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.3 52, and in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, as outlined in the Company's Compliance Plan. 53 The following are the planned advertising and outreach campaigns. Depending on effectiveness and costs, Total Call Mobile will adjust these planned efforts. Total Call will advertise its services in a manner reasonably designed to reach those likely to qualify for Lifeline services, and will use multiple mediums for outreach, including direct mail, and the internet. Total Call will engage in advertising campaigns specifically targeted to reach those likely to qualify for Lifeline services, promoting the availability of cost-effective wireless services to this neglected consumer segment. Total Call will also promote the availability of its Lifeline offerings by distributing brochures through various state and local social service agencies, if permitted, in order to inform customers of the availability of its Lifeline services. In addition, Total Call intends to utilize its distribution network to help promote the availability of its Lifeline plans, especially those with retail outlets that are frequented by low income consumers. Total Call will provide its distribution with point of sale materials and printed materials describing the Company's Lifeline program for use by retail outlets. 54 Total Call expects to be able to inform consumers of the availability of Lifeline service in a manner that will result in significantly higher participation by qualified consumers than has been the case in the past. Statistics suggest that there are many eligible customers who are not yet aware of the programs. According to the best data available to the Company, as of December 31, 2010, only between 10-20% of consumers eligible for Lifeline Services in the State of Idaho were being See 47 C.F.R. § 54.201. 52 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.3. See Exhibit 5, section I.E. See also Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at Section VII.F. M See attached Exhibit 4 for a sample advertisement. 14 provided such services. 55 E.Total Call Will Comply with the Commission's Tribal Notification Requirement As required by the Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.5, Total Call will provide a copy of this Application to "the affected tribal government or tribal regulatory authority"56 of the tribal areas it intends to serve. The applicable tribal areas include those of the Coeur D'Alene Tribe (Kootenai County), the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation (Bannock, Bingham, and Power Counties), and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribe of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation (Owyhee County). F.Total Call Requests Designation Throughout Its Service Area in Idaho Total Call is not a rural telephone company as defined in Section 153(37)57 of the Act. Accordingly, it is required to describe the geographic area(s) within which it requests designation as an ETC .58 Total Call requests designation as an ETC throughout its entire service area in Idaho, which is wherever its underlying carrier, Sprint, has coverage.59 Total Call, through its resale of wireless services provided by its underlying carrier in Idaho, can provide service in every Zip Code in the State of Idaho. Accordingly, Total Call seeks ETC status throughout the entire State of Idaho. Total Call understands that its service area overlaps with many rural carriers in Idaho, but maintains that the public interest factors described below justify its designation in these carriers' See attached Exhibit 6, 2010 Lifeline Participation Rates by State, which was obtained from the Universal Service Administrative Company ("USAC"), an independent non-for-profit corporation designated as the administrator of the federal Universal Service Fund by the FCC. USAC administers Universal Service Fund (USF) programs for high cost companies serving rural areas, low-income consumers, rural health care providers, and schools and libraries. 56 See Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.5. " 47 U.S.C. § 153(37). 58 Public Notice - Procedures for FCC Designation of Eligible Telecommunications Carriers Pursuant to Section 214(e)(6) of the Communications Act, FCC 97-419, 12 FCC Rcd 22947 (1997). See Exhibit 7 for a list of wire centers included in the Company's coverage area in Idaho. 15 service areas, especially because it seeks ETC designation solely to utilize USF funding to provide Lifeline service to qualified low-income consumers. It does not seek and will not accept high cost support. Nor does Total Call seek to provide Link-Up service. Therefore, its designation as an ETC will cause no growth in the high cost portions of the USF and will not erode high cost support from any rural telephone company. In fact, the FCC has determined that "[d]esignation of competitive ETCs promotes competition and benefits consumers in rural and high-cost areas by increasing customer choice, innovative services, and new technologies."60 As an option, the Commission may designate Total Call as an ETC in non-rural areas that Total Call serves without redefining the service areas of non-rural telephone companies. However, the Commission may also designate Total Call as an ETC in rural telephone company service areas upon a finding that such designation would serve the public interest. 61 G. Compliance with Service Requirements Revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)( 1 )(i) requires an applicant to certify that it will comply with the service requirements applicable to the support that it receives. 62 Total Call provides service in Idaho by reselling service that it obtains from its underlying carrier. The carrier's network is operational and largely built out. Thus, Total Call will be able to commence offering its Lifeline service to all locations served by its underlying carrier very soon after receiving approval from the Commission. Total Call commits to comply with the FCC's service requirements applicable to the support that it receives. 63 Total Call also commits to comply with the Commission's service requirements 60 See Western Wireless Corporation Petition for Designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier in the State of Wyoming, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 16 FCC Rcd 48, 55 (2000). 61 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.207(c). 62 Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 207, revised § 54.202(a). 63 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 208, revised § 54.202(a)( 1 )(i). 16 applicable to the support that it receives. 64 Subject to handset availability, Total Call commits to provide the supported services on a timely basis to requesting customers within its designated service area pursuant to FCC Rule 54.207(a(1)(i)(A)65. However, given that Total Call is a reseller, it does not own or control the networks of its underlying carriers. As such, FCC Rule 54.207(a)(1)(i)(A)66 is not applicable because Total Call does not have the ability to make modifications or additions to the underlying carriers' networks to serve customers that are outside of its underlying carrier's network coverage. H.Network Improvement Plans Although revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)(1)(ii) and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B. 1 require a common carrier seeking ETC designation to submit an improvement plan (a five-year plan under the FCC Rules, and a two-year plan under the Commission's Order) as part of its application67, the FCC has stated that a common carrier seeking designation as a Lifeline-only ETC is not required to submit such a plan as part of its application for designation as an ETC .68 I.Ability to Remain Functional in Emergency Situations Revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)(2) and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B.2 request information that demonstrates that Total Call has the ability to remain functional in emergency situations, has a reasonable amount of back-up power and is able to reroute traffic spikes caused by emergency situations .69 Given that Total Call is a reseller, it neither owns nor 64 See e.g., Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix 1P.1 (citing 47 C.F.R. § 54.202 as it stood prior to the February 6, 2012 Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order). 65 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(1)(i)(A); Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix 1B.1(a). 6647 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(1)(i)(B); Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix 1B.1(b). 67 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 208, revised § 54.202(a)(1)(ii); Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix TB. 1. 68 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1386. 69 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 209, revised § 54.202(a)(2), and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B.2. 17 operates any cell site, microwave hubs, or switches. Therefore, the requirements in revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)(2) that Total Call demonstrate that it has a reasonable amount of back-up power and is able to reroute and manage traffic in emergency situations is not applicable. Total Call provides service in Idaho by reselling services of its underlying wireless network carrier. Through its agreement with its underlying carrier, Total Call will provide its customers with the same ability to remain functional in emergency situations as is currently provided by the ILECs to their own customers. J. Commitment to Consumer Protection and Service Quality An ETC applicant must demonstrate that it will satisfy applicable consumer protection and service quality standards in accordance with revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)(3) and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B.3.7° Specifically, Total Call commits to comply with the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association's (CTIA) Consumer Code for Wireless Service, and also commits to exceptional customer service standards. Customers will experience the level of service, including wait times typical of post-paid customer service, which is generally superior to prepaid service. Customers will also be able to contact Customer Care via the Company's toll free number or by mail. In addition, there are a number of automated systems and web options for customer needs. Customers may call Total Call or visit the Company's website for additional information or to buy additional airtime, should they wish to do so. Total Call is committed to resolving customer questions, concerns and complaints in a swift and satisfactory manner. Total Call will designate a contact person to work with the Commission regarding complaint resolution. Once Total Call is made aware of consumer complaints/inquiries, a trained customer care supervisor or manager will respond within 48 70 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 209, revised § 54.202(3), and Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B.3. IE hours. Where a phone number is associated with the complaint, the customer will be contacted by telephone (minutes will not count against the customer). Otherwise, Total Call will use e- mail or regular mail, depending on the customer's preference or the information available to Total Call. K. Local Usage Requirement FCC rules no longer require an applicant for ETC designation to demonstrate that it offers a local usage plan that is "comparable" to the plan offered by the ILEC in the relevant service territory 71 ; however, Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶B.4 requires information that an applicant for ETC designation offers a local usage plan that is comparable to the one offered by the ILEC in the services areas for which designation as an ETC is sought 72. Similar to ILEC Lifeline offerings, Total Call customers will have the option to apply the Lifeline discount to the Company's retail rate plans and will have the option for unlimited local calling (i.e. if the customer signs up for Lifeline Plan 4 (unlimited talk and text) or Lifeline Plan 5 (unlimited talk, text, and data). Not only will Total Call's offering be comparable to the underlying ILEC plans, but it also will exceed them in several respects. For Lifeline Plans 1 and 2, Total Call will offer Lifeline customers a certain amount of service free of charge. In contrast to the ILEC plans, which contain relatively small local calling areas, Total Call customers can use these free minutes to place calls statewide (or even nationwide) because Total Call does not constrict customers' use by imposing a local calling area requirement. Total Call will also provide Lifeline customers with E911 capabilities at no cost as well as voice mail, caller I.D., and call waiting features at no cost. The very nature of the wireless phone, i.e. mobility, has a ' See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 208, revised § 54.202(a). 72 See Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix 1B.4. 19 tremendous benefit to many consumers, a benefit to which a monetary value cannot be easily assigned. L.Equal Access Requirement While Total Call is no longer required to acknowledge that it may be required to provide equal access to long distance carriers in the event that no other ETC is providing equal access within the service area under revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)73, Total Call acknowledges that it may be required to provide equal access to long distance carriers within its designated service area, and will abide by such a requirement. M.Total Call is Financially and Technically Capable In accordance with revised FCC Rule 54.202(a)(4)74 Total Call is financially and technically capable of providing Lifeline-supported services. 75 Total Call has been in business for 6 years and provides services to both Lifeline and non-Lifeline customers. Total Call already successfully provides wireless services in 49 states. Total Call has not been subject to enforcement action or ETC revocation proceedings in any state. Total Call does not, and has no intent to, offer exclusively Lifeline-supported services—and is therefore not exclusively dependent on universal service funds for its revenue. Total Call also has the financial support of its parent company, KDDI of America, which is a subsidiary of KDDI of Japan, the second largest carrier in Japan. Furthermore, the senior management of Total Call has great depth of knowledge in the telecommunications industry and offers extensive telecommunications business, technical and managerial expertise to the Company.76 Also, since Total Call will be 73 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at page 208, revised § 54.202(a). 74 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 209, revised § 54.202(4). See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order at 1387. 76 See Exhibit 8 for key management resumes. 20 providing resold wireless service, it will rely upon the managerial and technical expertise of its underlying carrier (i.e. Sprint). N. Total Call Will Comply with Lifeline Certification and Verification Requirements Revised FCC Rule 54.410 and 54.416 requires ETCs to certify and verify a Lifeline customer's initial and continued eligibility. 77 Total Call will certify and verify consumer eligibility in accordance with the FCC's requirements, including the new rules set forth in the Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, and with Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶D 78 0. Total Call Will Comply with All Regulations Imposed by the Commission By this Application, Total Call hereby asserts its willingness and ability to comply with all the rules and regulations that the Commission may lawfully impose upon the Company's provision of service contemplated by this Application, to the extent such provisions apply to a prepaid wireless provider. Total Call commits to comply with the reporting requirements adopted by the Commission 79. 1. Request for Waiver of Certain Commission Requirements As Total Call is not seeking high-cost support for its wireless service, it hereby requests a waiver of the following Commission Rules: Commission Order No. 29841 at 1B.1. (two-year network improvement and maintenance plan based on high-cost support) and Commission Order No. 29841 at ¶C.1 (annual report of certain information based on high-cost support). Total Call understands that these rules relate solely to the receipt an expenditure of high-cost funds. Because Total Call will not apply for or accept federal high-cost funding, it believes these rules are not applicable to Total Call's application and, therefore, should be waived. 77 See Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order page 224, revised § 54.410 and 54.416. 78 See Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶D. 79 See Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶C. 21 2. Detailed Information on Outages Commission Order No. 29841 at ¶C.2 requires "detailed information on any outage, as that term is defined in 47 C.F.R. § 4.5, of at least thirty (30) minutes in duration for each service area in which an ETC is designated for any facilities it owns, operates, leases, or otherwise utilizes that potentially affects (a) at least ten percent of the end users in a service area; or (b) a 911 special facility, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 4.5(e)."8° Total Call provides service in Idaho by reselling services of its underlying wireless network carrier. Given that Total Call is a reseller that neither owns, leases, nor operates any facilities, Total Call must ask its underlying carrier for information regarding any such outages. Thus, Total Call will only be able report details of outages to the extent they are provided by its underlying carrier. V. DESIGNATION OF TOTAL CALL AS AN ETC WOULD PROMOTE THE PUBLIC INTEREST Under Commission Order No. 29841 at ¶A.4, ETC applicants must demonstrate that designation is "consistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity." In the case of non-rural areas, the applicant must demonstrate that "the public interest will be met by an additional designation" in rural areas. 81 One of the principal goals of the Act, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, is "to secure lower prices and higher quality services for American telecommunications consumers and encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies" to all citizens, regardless of geographic location or income. 82 There is no question that designating Total Call as an ETC in Idaho will further the public interest by providing Idaho consumers, especially low-income consumers, with lower prices and higher quality services. Many low-income customers in Idaho have yet to reap the full benefits 80 Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶C.2. 81 See Commission Order No. 29841 at Appendix ¶A.4. 82 Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56. of the intensely competitive wireless market. Whether it is due to financial constraints, poor credit history or intermittent employment, these consumers often lack the countless choices available to most consumers. The instant request for ETC designation must be examined in light of the Act's goal of providing low-income consumers with access to telecommunications services. The primary purpose of universal service is to ensure that consumers—particularly low-income consumers— receive affordable and comparable telecommunications services. Given this context, designating Total Call as an ETC would significantly benefit low-income consumers eligible for Lifeline services in the State of Idaho—the intended beneficiaries of universal service. A. Advantages of Total Call's Lifeline Offering The public interest benefits of Total Call's wireless service include larger local calling areas (as compared to traditional wireline carriers), the convenience and security afforded by mobile telephone service, the opportunity for customers to control cost by receiving a preset amount of monthly airtime at no charge, the ability to purchase additional usage at flexible and affordable amounts in the event that included usage has been exhausted, 911 service even if a handset has a zero balance) and, where available, E911 service in accordance with current FCC requirements. Total Call's Lifeline customers will receive the same high-quality wireless services and exceptional customer service provided to all Company customers. Total Call's Lifeline rate plans will not only allow feature-rich mobile connectivity for qualifying subscribers at no cost to the subscriber, but also will bring a variety of rate plans into the reach of Lifeline customers that are comparable in minutes and features to those available to post-paid wireless subscribers - but at low Lifeline rates and without the burden of credit checks or contracts. 23 Total Call offers customers five choices to better meet their needs: (1) a 150-minute plan, which includes international calling to over 250 locations for no additional per minute charge; (2) a 250-minute plan (domestic minutes only); (3) a 1000 Talk & 1000 Text retail plan for $19.99 (regularly $29.99); (4) a 30-day Unlimited Talk & Text retail plan for $29.99 (regularly $39.99); and (5) a 30-day Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data retail plan for $39.99 (regularly $49.99). All Lifeline plans include a free phone, call waiting, caller ID and voicemail free of charge. Total Call does not charge an activation fee or any other charge to establish service (other Lifeline service providers often charge an activation charge of $30.00). Minutes include nationwide coverage, so customers do not incur long distance charges, unlike local calling area offerings which prevent or charge extra for calls made outside of a defined area. Unlike many Lifeline competitor products, Total Call provides customer service calls free of charge (that is, these calls do NOT reduce a customer's minute allotment). Total Call's Lifeline service will provide low-income Idaho residents with the convenience and security offered by wireless services - even if their financial position deteriorates. Total Call's prepaid wireless plans enable consumers to enjoy the benefits of wireless telecommunication without being subject to extensive credit reviews and long-term service commitments, which historically have limited the availability of wireless service to many Americans, including many Idaho residents. ETC designation in Idaho would enable Total Call to offer appealing and affordable service offerings to low-income Idaho customers to ensure that they are able to afford wireless services on a consistent and uninterrupted basis. It is a commonly accepted fact that in today's market all 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, 24 allows a person seeking employment the ability to be contacted by potential employers, and provides end users with the ability to contact emergency service providers, regardless of location. Providing Total Call with the authority necessary to offer discounted Lifeline services to those in most danger of losing wireless service undoubtedly promotes the public interest. Moreover, grant of Total Call's Application will serve the public interest in increasing the number of ETCs in Idaho. By granting ETC status to Total Call, the Commission will enable Total Call to increase the number of Idaho residents receiving Lifeline support, thereby increasing the amount of USF money flowing into Idaho. In sum, ETC designation in the State of Idaho would enable Total Call to provide all of the public benefits cited by the FCC in its analysis in the Virgin Mobile Order. Namely, Total Call would provide "increased consumer choice, high-quality service offerings, and mobility,"83 as well as the safety and security of effective 911 and E911 services.84 B. The Benefits of Competitive Choice The benefits to consumers of being able to choose from among a variety of telecommunications service providers have been acknowledged by the FCC for more than three decades.85. Designation of Total Call as an ETC will promote competition and innovation, and spur other carriers to target low-income consumers with service offerings tailored to their needs and to improve their existing networks to remain competitive, resulting in improved services to consumers. Designation of Total Call as an ETC will help assure that quality services are available at "just, reasonable, and affordable rates" as envisioned in the Act. 86 Introducing Total Call into the market as an additional wireless ETC provider will afford low income Idaho 83 See Virgin Mobile Order, 24 FCC Rcd at 3395 138. 84 See Id. at 3391 ¶23. 85 See, e.g., Specialized Common Carrier Services, 29 FCC Red 870 (1971). 86 See 47 U.S.C. § 254(b)(1). 25 residents a wider choice of providers and available services while enhancing the competitive marketplace as ETCs compete for a finite number of Lifeline-eligible customers. Increasing the competitive marketplace of providers has the potential to effectively increase the penetration rate and reduce the number of individuals not connected to the PSTN. C. Impact on the Universal Service Fund Total Call's request for designation as an ETC solely for Lifeline purposes would not unduly burden the USF or otherwise reduce the amount of funding available to other ETCs. With Lifeline, ETCs only receive support for customers they obtain. The amount of support available to an eligible subscriber is exactly the same whether the support is given through a company such as Total Call or the ILEC operating in the same service area. Total Call will only increase the amount of USF Lifeline funding in situations where it obtains Lifeline customers not enrolled in another ETC's Lifeline program. By implementing the safeguards set forth in the Lifeline and Link Up Reform Order, Total Call will minimize the likelihood that its customers are not eligible or are receiving duplicative support either individually or within their household. Significantly, the Company's designation as an ETC will not increase the number of persons eligible for Lifeline support. Total Call's ability to increase the Lifeline participation rate of qualified low-income individuals will further the goal of Congress to provide all individuals with affordable access to telecommunications service, and thus any incremental increases in Lifeline expenditures are far outweighed by the significant public interest benefits of expanding the availability of affordable wireless services to low-income consumers. VI.ANTI-DRUG ABUSE CERTIFICATION Total Call certifies that no party to this Application is subject to denial of federal benefits, including FCC benefits, pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. VII.CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing, designation of Total Call as an ETC in the State of Idaho accords with the requirements of Section 214(e)(2) of the Act and is in the public interest. WHEREFORE, Total Call respectfully requests that the Commission promptly designate Total Call as an ETC in the State of Idaho solely for purposes of participating in the Lifeline program.

Total Call Mobile's Access to 911 and E911 Services Pursuant to the Lifeline Reform Order, forbearance is conditioned upon Company (1) providing its Lifeline subscribers with 911 and E911 access, regardless of activation status and availability of minutes; and (2) providing its Lifeline subscribers with E91 I-compliant handsets and replacing, at no additional charge to the subscriber, noncompliant handsets of Lifeline-eligible subscribers who obtain Lifeline-supported services.4 Company will comply with these conditions upon initiation of its Lifeline service. Company will provide its Lifeline customers with access to 911 and E91 I services immediately upon activation of service. The Commission and consumers are hereby assured that all Company customers will have available access to emergency calling services at the time that the handset is activated, and that such 911 and E91 I access will be available from Company handsets, even if the account associated with the handset has no minutes remaining. The Company's existing practices currently provide access to 911 and E91 1 services for all customers. Company uses Sprint as its underlying network provider/carrier. Sprint routes 911 calls from Company's customers in the same manner as 911 calls from Sprint's own retail customers. To the extent that Sprint is certified in a given PSAP territory, this 911 capability will function the same for Company. Company (via Sprint) also currently enables 911 emergency calling services for all properly activated handsets regardless of whether the account associated with the handset is active, suspended or terminated. Finally, the Company (via Sprint) transmits all 911 calls initiated from any of its handsets even if the account associated with the handset has no remaining minutes. See Lifeline Reform Order, 1373. DCOI/SMITD/4727 19. 7 Company will ensure that all handsets used in connection with the Lifeline service offering are E91 I -compliant. In point of fact, Company's phones have always been and will continue to be 911 and E91 I -compliant. Company uses phones that have been through a stringent certification process with Sprint, which, among other things, ensures that the handset models used meet all 911 and E911 requirements. As a result, any customer that qualifies for and elects Lifeline service will already have a 911 /E91 1-compliant handset, which will be confirmed at the time of enrollment in the Lifeline program. Any new customer that qualifies for and enrolls in the Lifeline program is assured of receiving a 911 1E9 11-compliant handset as well, free of charge. B. Procedures To Enroll A Subscriber in Lifeline 1. Policy The Company will comply with the uniform eligibility criteria established in new section 54.409 of the Commission's rules (when it becomes effective on June 1, 2012), as well as any additional certification and verification requirements for Lifeline eligibility in states where the Company is designated as an ETC. In states where there are no state-imposed requirements, the Company will comply with the certification and verification procedures in effect in that state as reflected on the website of the Universal Service Administration Company ("USAC").5 For any states that do not have established rules of procedure in place, the Company will comply with the certification and verification procedures in effect in that state as reflected in the Lifeline Reform Order and the rules. All subscribers will be required to demonstrate eligibility based at least on: (1) household income at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of that See Cricket Compliance Plan at 3. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 KI size; or (2) the household's participation in one of the federal assistance programs listed in new section 54.409(a)(2) and 54.409(a(3) of the Commission's rules. In addition, through the certification requirements described below, Company will confirm that the subscriber is not already receiving a Lifeline service and no one else in the subscriber's household is subscribed to a Lifeline service. 2. Eligibility Determination If Company cannot determine a prospective subscriber's eligibility for Lifeline by accessing income databases or program eligibility databases, Company's employees or agents ("Company personnel") will review documentation establishing eligibility pursuant to the Lifeline rules.6 All personnel who interact with actual or prospective customers will be trained to assist Lifeline applicants in determining whether they are eligible to participate based on the federal and state-specific income-based and/or program-based criteria. These personnel will be trained to answer questions about Lifeline eligibility, and will review required documentation to determine whether it satisfies the Lifeline Reform Order and state-specific eligibility requirements using state-specific checklists.7 Proof of Eligibility. Company personnel will be trained on acceptable documentation required to establish income-based and program-based eligibility.8 Acceptable documentation of program eligibility includes: (1) the current or prior year's statement of benefits from a qualifying state or federal program; (2) a notice letter of participation in a qualifying state or federal program; (3) program participation documents (e.g., the consumer's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) electronic benefit transfer card or Medicaid 6 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1100; 47 C.F.R. § § 54.410(b)(l)i)(B), 54.410(c)(l)(i)(B); Cricket Compliance Plan at 4. See Cricket Compliance Plan at 6. See Lifeline Reform Order, 1101. DCOI/SMITD/4727 19. 7 5 participation card (or copy thereof)); or (4) another official document evidencing the consumer's participation in a qualifying state or federal program.9 Acceptable documentation of income eligibility includes the prior year's state or federal tax return, current income statement from an employer or paycheck stub, a Social Security statement of benefits, a Veterans Administration statement of benefits, a retirement/pension statement of benefits, an Unemployment/Workmen's Compensation statement of benefits, federal notice letter of participation in General Assistance, or a divorce decree, child support award, or other official document containing income information for at least three months time. 10 Company personnel will examine supporting documentation for each Lifeline applicant, and will record the type of documentation used to satisfy the income- or program- based criteria)1 As specified in FCC rules, the Company will not retain a copy of the documentation reviewed. 12 However, for audit and recordkeeping purposes, the Company will record eligibility verification information on a separate form. This "Company-only" form will be completed by Total Call Mobile personnel, who will be trained to complete the form, indicating what proof of eligibility was reviewed, and retain the form for each applicant determined to be eligible for service. The separate form is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Where the Company personnel conclude that proffered documentation is insufficient to establish such eligibility, the Company will deny the associated application and Id. and 47 C.F.R. § 54.410(c)(1)(i)(B). See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶101; 47 C.F.R. § 54.410.(b)(l)(i)(B). See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶101; 47 C.F.R. §§ 54.410(b)(1)(iii), 54.410(c)(1)(iii). 12 See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶101; 47 C.F.R. § § 54.410(b)(1)(ii), 54.410(c)(1)(ii). DCOI/SMITD/472719, 7 6 inform the applicant of the reason for such rejection. 3 In the event that Company personnel cannot ascertain whether documentation of a specific type is sufficient to establish an applicant's eligibility, the matter will be escalated to supervisory personnel. 14 In addition, as described in Section I.B.3, below, subscribers will complete certification forms that, among other things, demonstrate the subscriber's eligibility to receive Lifeline support. De-Enrollment for Ineligibility. If Company has a reasonable basis to believe that one of its Lifeline subscribers no longer meets the eligibility criteria, Company will notify the subscriber of impending termination in writing and in compliance with any applicable state dispute resolution procedures applicable to Lifeline termination, and give the subscriber 30 days to demonstrate continued eligibility. 15 A demonstration of eligibility must comply with the annual verification procedures below and found in new rule section 54.410(f), including the submission of a certification form. 3. Subscriber Certifications for Enrollment The Company will implement certification policies and procedures that enable consumers to demonstrate their eligibility for Lifeline assistance to Company personnel as detailed in the Lifeline Reform Order, together with any additional state certification requirements. 16 The Company shares the Commission's concern about abuse of the Lifeline program and is thus committed to the safeguards stated herein, with the belief that these See Cricket Compliance Plan at 6. See Cricket Compliance Plan at 6. Is See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶ 143; 47 C.F.R. § 54.405(e)(1). Lifeline Reform Order, 161; 47 C.F.R. § 54.410(a). DCOI/SMITD/47271 9. 7 '4 procedures will prevent the Company's customers from engaging in such abuse of the program, inadvertently or intentionally. 17 TCM will implement certification procedures that require consumers to demonstrate their eligibility for Lifeline assistance. Customers will be able to sign up for Lifeline assistance by contacting TCM via telephone, facsimile, or the internet. Company personnel will verbally explain the eligibility criteria to consumers when they are enrolling in person or over the phone. 18 At the point of sale, consumers will be provided with printed information describing TCM's Lifeline program in detail, including federal and state specific eligibility requirements, and instructions for enrolling, a description of the one-per-household rule and a copy of USAC's printed material describing the one-per-household rule. 19 These materials (like all Lifeline marketing materials) also will clearly identify supported plans as "Lifeline" plans, consistent with TCM' s current practice and policies. Consumers will be directed to a toll-free telephone number and to TCM's website, which will contain a link to information regarding the Company's Lifeline service plan, including a detailed description of the program, rates, and federal and state-specific eligibility criteria. 1CM will have direct contact with all customers applying for participation in the Lifeline program either by mail or by phone and all marketing materials will include TCM's customer service number. Retailers and distributors will be able to assist customers in completing applications but will provide 1CM' s customer service number for further questions and assistance. Retailers or customers will then directly send the applications and supporting See Cricket Compliance Plan at 3. 18 See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶ 123. 19 See Lifeline Reform Order, 179. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 8 documents to TCM. Retailers will not retain any copies of the customer application or supporting documentation, and company personnel will review and process all applications. 4. Call Center Procedures Consumers will be directed to call a toll-free number to complete an application over the phone. The application will then be mailed to the customer for signature under penalty of perjury and for the submission of supporting documentation. The signed application and support documentation must be mailed to the address provided by the Company (or, if available to the consumer, returned by facsimile or electronic transmission). Processing of consumers' applications, including review of all application forms and relevant documentation will be performed under TCM's supervision by managers thoroughly trained in the requirements of the Lifeline program. TCM will ensure that all required documentation is taken care of properly by using federal and state-specific compliance checklists. TCM will emphasize the "one Lifeline phone per household" restriction during the initial interview with the potential customer when they call into the call center. The call center introduction script substantially in the form TCM would use is attached as Exhibit C. 5. In-Person Sales Efforts TCM will promote its Lifeline services through many channels. One sales channel will be in-person sales events staffed by TCM representatives or agents. At these events, customers will be allowed to sign up, in-person, for Lifeline service. TCM representatives or agents, fully trained in Lifeline requirements, will conduct an interview, ensuring that the potential customer does not already receive a Lifeline subsidy. Documentation proving eligibility for the program will also be collected and an application will be completed by DCOI/SMITD/4727 19. 7 the customer. Only after completing all required eligibility verification will TCM issue phones to the customer. At retail outlets where trained TCM representatives or agents are not present, customers will not have access to Lifeline services (or receive a Lifeline handset) at the retail location. Instead, customers will be directed via print ads and information brochures to contact TCM directly, and to submit the Lifeline service application directly to TCM. Through TCM's certification procedures, the company would verify that the individual qualifies for a Lifeline plan (i.e. that there is no duplication, and that the individual qualifies by virtue of participation in an eligible state or federal low income program). Only after the customer is verified as qualifying to receive Lifeline will the phone be provided to the customer via mail or subsequent pickup. 6. Applications, Information and Disclosures Every applicant will be required to complete an application/certification process containing disclosures, and collecting certain information and certifications as discussed below. 20 Disclosures. TCM' s application and certification process will include the following disclosures: (1) Lifeline is a federal benefit and that willfully making false statements to obtain the benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, dc-enrollment or being barred from the program; (2) only one Lifeline service is available per household; (3) a household is defined, for purposes of the Lifeline program, as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses; (4) a household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers; (5) violation of the one-per-household limitation constitutes a violation of the Commission's rules and will result in the applicant's de-enrollment 20 See Model Application/Certification Form (Maryland), included as Exhibit D.

Applicants will also be required to certify under penalty of perjury that they are head of their household and receive Lifeline-supported service only from TCM. Penalties for 28 See Lifeline Reform Order. ¶j 168-69; 47 C.F.R. § 54.419. 29 See Cricket Compliance Plan at 4. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 12 perjury will be clearly stated on the certification form. 30 This will be accomplished by a certification form substantially similar in format to the Model Application/Certification Form (Maryland), included as Exhibit D. Customers will be required to sign and date this statement. In addition, the applicant will be required to authorize TCM to access any records required to verify the applicant's statements in the application/certification process and to confirm the applicant's eligibility for the Company Lifeline credit. 31 The applicant must also authorize TCM to release any records required for the administration of the Company Lifeline credit program, including to USAC to be used in an Lifeline program eligibility database. 32 C. Annual Verification Procedures 1CM will annually re-certify all subscribers by querying the appropriate eligibility databases (when it becomes available) or, if no eligibility database is available, by obtaining a signed certification from each subscriber consistent with the certification requirements above and new section 54.410(d) of the rules. This certification will include a confirmation that the applicant's household will receive only one Lifeline service and, to the best of the subscriber's knowledge, the subscriber's household is receiving no more than one Lifeline service. 33 Company will notify each participating Lifeline customer prior to his or her service anniversary date that he or she must confirm his or her continued eligibility in accordance with the applicable requirements. 34 Further, the verification materials will inform the subscriber that See Cricket Compliance Plan at 5. 31 See Cricket Compliance Plan at 5. 32 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.404(b)(9). The application/certification form will also describe the information that will be transmitted, that the information is being transmitted to USAC to ensure the proper administration of the Lifeline program and that failure to provide consent will result in the applicant being denied the Lifeline service.

DCOI /SMITD/47271 9. 7 13 he or she is being contacted to re-certify his or her continuing eligibility for Lifeline and if the subscriber fails to respond, he or she will be de-enrolled in the program. 35 2012 Verification. Company will re-certify (if applicable) the eligibility of each of its existing subscribers as of June 1, 2012 on a rolling basis by the end of 2012 and report the results to USAC by January 31, 2013.36 Company will contact its subscribers via text message to their Lifeline supported telephone, or by mail, phone, email or other Internet communication. The notice will explain the actions the customer must take to retain Lifeline benefits, when Lifeline benefits maybe terminated, and how to contact the Company. Verification De-Enrollment. Company will give subscribers 30 days to respond to the annual verification inquiry. Company will de-enroll subscribers that do not respond to the annual verification or fail to provide the required certification. 37 If the subscriber does not respond, the Company will send a separate written notice explaining that failure to respond within 30 days will result in the subscriber's de-enrollment from the Lifeline program. If the subscriber does not respond within 30 days, Company will de-enroll the subscriber within five business days thereafter. D. Activation and Non-Usa ge Each subscriber activates the service by placing a call to TCM. Company will not consider a prepaid subscriber activated, and will not seek reimbursement for Lifeline for that subscriber, until the subscriber places this call demonstrating usage of the phone. 38 In addition, after service activation, Company will provide a de-enrollment notice to subscribers that have See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶ 145. 36 See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶ 130. See Lifeline Reform Order, 1142; 47 C.F.R. § 54.54.405(e)(4). See Lifeline Reform Order, 1257; 47 C.F.R. § 54.407(c)(1). DCOI /SMITD/472719. 7 14 not used their service for 60 days. After 60 days of non-use, Company will provide notice to the subscriber that failure to use the Lifeline service within a 30-day notice period will result in de- enrollment. 39 For these purposes, subscribers will be considered to "use" the service by: (1) completing an outbound; (2) purchasing minutes from Company to add to the subscriber's plan; (3) answering an incoming call from a party other than Company; or responding to a direct contact from Company and confirming that the subscriber wants to continue receiving the service. 40 If the subscriber does not respond to the notice, the subscriber will be de-enrolled and Company will not request further Lifeline reimbursement for the subscriber. Company will report annually to the Commission the number of subscribers de-enrolled for non-usage by month.4t E. Additional Measures to Prevent Waste, Fraud and Abuse To supplement its verification and certification procedures, and to better ensure that customers understand the Lifeline service restrictions with respect to duplicates, the Company will implement measures and procedures to prevent duplicate Lifeline benefits being awarded to the same household. These measures entail additional emphasis in written disclosures as well as live due diligence. 42 In addition to checking the national database when it becomes available, Company personnel will emphasize the "one Lifeline phone per household" restriction in their See Lifeline Reform Order, 1257; 47 C.F.R. § 54.405(e)(3). See Cricket Compliance Plan at 2 (stating that it did not need to implement a non-usage policy because it offered only plans with unlimited local and long distance calling). 40 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1261; 47 C.F.R. § 54.407(c)(2). 41 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1257; 47 C.F.R. § 54.405(e)(3). 42 See Cricket Compliance Plan at 9. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 15 direct sales contacts with potential customers. 43 Training materials will include a discussion of the limitation to one Lifeline phone per household, and the need to ensure that the customer is informed of this restriction.44 Database. When the National Lifeline Accountability Database ("National Database") becomes available, Company will comply with the requirements of new rule section 54.404. Company will query the National Database to determine whether a prospective subscriber is currently receiving a Lifeline service from another ETC and whether anyone else living at the prospective subscriber's residential address is currently receiving Lifeline service. 45 One-Per-Household. Company will implement the requirements of the Lifeline Reform Order to ensure that it provides only one Lifeline benefit per household 46 through the use of its application and certification forms discussed above, internal database checks and its marketing materials discussed below. Upon receiving an application for Company's Lifeline service, Company will search its own internal records to ensure that it does not already provide Lifeline-supported service to someone at the same residential address. 47 If it does discover See Cricket Compliance Plan at 6, 9. Id. See Lifeline Reform Order, 1203. Company will also transmit to the National Database the information required for each new and existing Lifeline subscriber. See Lifeline Reform Order, ¶11 189-195; 47 C.F.R. § 54.404b)(6). Further, Company will update each subscriber's information in the National Database within ten business days of any change, except for de-enrollment, which will be transmitted within one business day. See 47 C.F.R. § 54.404(b)(8),(10). 46 A "household" is any individual or group of individuals who are living together at the same address as one economic unit. A household may include related and unrelated persons. An "economic unit" consists of all adult individuals contributing to and sharing in the income and expenses of a household. An adult is any person eighteen years or older. If an adult has no or minimal income, and lives with someone who provides financial support to him/her, both people shall be considered part of the same household. Children under the age of eighteen living with their parents or guardians are considered to be part of the same household as their parents or guardians.

The Company personnel will also assist the applicant in determining if he or she is already benefiting from Lifeline support, by identifying the leading Lifeline offerings in the relevant market by brand name. 50 Marketing Materials. Within the deadline provided in the Lifeline Reform Order, TCM will include the following information regarding its Lifeline service on all marketing materials describing the service: (1) it is a Lifeline service, 51 (2) Lifeline is a government assistance program, (3) the service is non-transferable, (4) only eligible consumers may enroll in the program, (5) the program is limited to one discount per household, consisting of either one Id.

F. Company Reimbursements From the Fund To ensure that the Company does not seek reimbursement from the Fund without a subscriber's consent, Company will certify, as part of each reimbursement request, that it is in compliance with all of the Commission's Lifeline rules and, to the extent required, has obtained valid certification and verification forms from each of the subscribers for whom it is seeking reimbursement. 56 Company will verify customers as described in the Compliance Plan before submitting requests for reimbursement for service provided to the subscriber. In addition, Company will keep accurate records as directed by USAC 57 and as required by new section 54.417 of the Commission's rules. Further the Company will submit its FCC Forms 497 on the eighth day of each month in order to be reimbursed the same month, and inform USAC, to the extent necessary, to 52 See Cricket Compliance Plan at 4.

Cooperation with State and Federal Regulators The Company will cooperate with federal and state regulators to prevent waste, fraud and abuse. More specifically, the Company will: • Make available state-specific subscriber data, including the names and addresses of Lifeline subscribers, to USAC and to each state public utilities commission where the Company operates for the purpose of determining whether an existing Lifeline subscriber receives Lifeline service from another carrier; 67 • Assist the Commission, U SAC, state commissions, and other ETCs in resolving instances of duplicative enrollment by Lifeline subscribers, including by providing to USAC and/or any state commission, upon request, the necessary information to detect and resolve duplicative Lifeline claims; • Promptly investigate any notification that it receives from the Commission, USAC, or a state commission to the effect that one of its customers already receives Lifeline services from another carrier; and • Immediately de-enroll any subscriber whom the Company has a reasonable basis to believe68 is receiving Lifeline-supported service from another ETC or is no longer eligible - whether or not such information is provided by the Commission, USAC, or a state commission. 69 65 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1390; 47 C.F.R. § 54.422b)(5). 66 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1389; 47 C.F.R. § 54.422(b)(1)-(4). 67 The Company anticipates that the need to provide such information will sunset following the implementation of the national duplicates database. 68 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.405(e)(1). 69 See Cricket Compliance Plan at 10. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 20 II.DESCRIPTION OF LIFELINE SERVICE OFFERINGS Company will offer its Lifeline service in the states where it is designated as an ETC and throughout the coverage area of its underlying provider Sprint. The Company's Lifeline offering, as described in Exhibit F, will allow customers to choose from the following options: (1) 150 minutes (including select international destinations as described in Exhibit U) per month at no charge; (2) 250 minutes (domestic only) per month at no charge; or (3) a discount off ofTCM's 30-day Unlimited Talk & Text plan or TCM's 30-day Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data plan. Additional plan details are described on the sample advertisement at Exhibit E and in Exhibit F. Lifeline customers can also purchase additional bundles of minutes and service (i.e. if they run out of minutes or if they want to make international calls) by purchasing TCM's refill cards online, via the customer service line, at a Western Union location, and at stores that carry TCM prepaid refills. In addition to free or discounted voice services, Company's Lifeline plan will include a free handset (with an option to buy an upgrade) and custom calling features at no charge, including Caller ID and Voicemail. All plans include domestic long-distance at no extra per minute charge. Calls to customer service and 911 emergency services are always free, regardless of service activation or availability of minutes. III.DEMONSTRATION OF FINANCIAl. AND TFCHNICAI. CAPAfflIITWS AND nj Financial and Technical Capabilities. Revised Commission rule 54.202(a)(4),47 C.F.R. 54.202(a)(4), requires carriers petitioning for ETC designation to demonstrate financial 70 See Compliance Plan Public Notice at 3. DCOI /SMITD/472719. 7 and technical capability to comply with the Commission's Lifeline service requirements. 71 The Compliance Plan Public Notice requires that a carrier's compliance plan also include this demonstration. Among the factors the Commission will consider are: a carrier's prior offering of service to non-Lifeline subscribers, the length of time the carrier has been in business, whether the carrier relies exclusively on Lifeline reimbursement to operate; whether the carrier receives revenues from other sources and whether the carrier has been the subject of an enforcement action or ETC revocation proceeding. This section summarizes TCM's financial and technical capabilities to provide the service. TCM provides affordable prepaid mobile phone service, including calling and text messaging, along with ser-friendly handsets and high quality customer service. The majority of TCM's products and plans are specially geared toward serving lower income communities, and its service models and pricing plans reflect this mission. TCM offers nationwide non-Lifeline prepaid services as an MVNO using the Sprint network. In addition, TCM is applying for certification as an ETC with the FCC (for Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia), Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, and West Virginia. TCM received ETC approval in Maryland on December 23, 2011.72 TCM is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Total Call International ("TCI"), a national prepaid telecommunications services provider. TCI provides international prepaid calling cards, which are often used by low income or unbanked consumers, many of whom are members of ethnic communities. TCI has been providing telecommunications services to See Lifeline Reform Order, NN 387-388 (revising Commission rule 54.202(a)(4)). 72 The Arkansas PSC initially granted TCM's application, but on March 22, 2012, the PSC issued a stay and remand in light of the Lifeline Reform Order. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 22 customers for over 10 years. TCI, in turn, is majority owned by KDDI America, a subsidiary of Japan's second largest telecommunications carrier (KDDI Corporation). KDDI Corporation and its affiliates provide mobile services (voice and data) and fixed line services (broadband, domestic and international telecommunications and data center services) in Japan and globally. KDDI's technical and financial capabilities are further described in Exhibit A. TCM will benefit from the experience of its parent entities in its provision of ETC services. TCM also will benefit from TCI's knowledge of low income markets when conducting outreach to eligible consumers. During the past 10 years, TCM and TO have provided I telecommunications services to non-Lifeline customers and, consequently, TCM has not and will not be relying exclusively on Lifeline reimbursement for the Company's operating revenues. TCM receives revenues from these prepaid wireless services and also has access to the financial resources of its parent company. The Company has not been the subject of any enforcement actions by the FCC nor has it been subject to any ETC revocation proceedings. Service Requirements Applicable to Company's Support. The Compliance Plan Public Notice requires carriers to include "certifications required under newly amended section 54.202 of the Commission's rules."73 Company certifies that it will comply with the service requirements applicable to the support the Company receives. 74 TCM provides all of the telecommunications service supported by the Lifeline program and will make the services available to all qualified consumers throughout the states in which it is designated as an ETC.75 TCM's services include voice telephony services that provide voice grade access to the public Compliance Plan Public Notice at 3. 47 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(1). In addition to voice telephony services, 1CM' s services include the nine features, i.e., dual tone multi-frequency signaling, single party service and access to operator services, etc. previously identified in Commission rule 54.101(a). DCOI /SMITD/4727 19. 7 23 switched network or its functional equivalent. Further, TCM's service offerings provide its customers with minutes of use for local service at no charge to the customer. The Company will offer a set number of minutes of local exchange service free of charge to its subscribers and will abide by any Commission-required minimum usage amounts. TCM's Lifeline offering will allow customers to choose from the following options: (1) 150 minutes (including select international destinations as described in Exhibit G) per month at no charge; (2) 250 minutes (domestic only) per month at no charge; or (3) a discount off of TCM's 30-day Unlimited Talk & Text plan or TCM's 30-day Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data plan. Additional plan details are described on the sample advertisement attached as E and in F. Lifeline customers can also purchase additional bundles of minutes and service (i.e. if they run out of minutes or if they want to make international calls) by purchasing TCM's refill cards online, via the customer service line, at a Western Union location, and at stores that carry TCM prepaid refills. The Company also will provide access to emergency services provided by local government or public safety officials, including 911 and E911 where available and will comply with any Commission requirements regarding E91 1-compatible handsets. As discussed above, TCM will comply with the Commission's forbearance grant conditions relating to the provision of 911 and E91 I services and handsets. Finally, toll limitation services do not apply because TCM, like most wireless carriers, does not differentiate domestic long distance toll usage from local usage and all usage is paid for in advance. Pursuant to the Lifeline Reform Order, subscribers to such services are not considered to have voluntarily elected to receive TLS.76 76 See Lifeline Reform Order, 1230. DCOI/SMITD/472719. 7 24 IV. CONCLUSION TCM submits that its Compliance Plan fully satisfies the conditions set forth in I the Commission's Lifeline Reform Order, the Compliance Plan Public Notice and the Lifeline rules. Accordingly, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously approve its Compliance Plan. Respectfully submitted, A, A-4- Steven A. Augustino Denise N.

Accounting policies a) \'akiation standards and methods for major assets 1) Securities Bonds intended to he held to malurity: amortized cost method (straight-line method) Other securities a):Other securities for which market quotations are available are stated at thir value prevailing at the balance sheet date with unrealized gains and losses, directly included in net assets. The cost of securities sold is determined by the moving-average method. b):Other securities for which market quotations are not available are valued at cost mainly determined by the moving-average method. -26- 2) Inventories Supplies Stated at cost. Cost is determined by the moving-average method (the method ot' write-downs based on the decrease in profitability is applied in order to calculate the inventory value on the balance shed). b) Depreciation and amortization for maor assets I) Property, plant and equipment other than leased assets The company: Machinery: declining-balance method Property, plant and equipment other than machinery: straight-line method Consolidated subsidiaries: Mainly straight-line method Useful life of principle assets is as follows: Machinery: 9 years Antenna facilities, Local line facilities Long-distance Inc facilities Engineering facilities. Buildings. and Structures: 5 to 38 years 2)Intangible assets other than leased assets: straight-line method Soñware for internal use is amortized under the straight-line method over the expected useful lives (5 years). 3)Leased assets Leased assets related to financial leases that do not transfer ownership rights to the lessees are amortized under the straight-line method based on the lease term as the useful life and residual value of zero. Finance leases other than those, which are deemed to transfer the ownership rights of the leased assets to the lessees, that started before March 31. 2008, are accounted for by a method similar to that applicable to ordinary operating leases. 4)Long-term prepaid expenses: Straight-line method c) Deferred assets Bond issuance expenses: Entire amount of expenses is fully charged at time of expenditure. d) Significant allowances 1)Allowance for doubtful accounts To prepare for uncollectible credits, general allowance is recorded based on the actual bad debt ratio, and specific allowance is recorded based on the amount deemed to the uneolleetible considering the collectibilily. 2)Provision for retirement benefits The amount for employee retirement benefits at March 31. 2011 is based on the estimated value of benefit obligations, plan assets and retirement benefit trust assets at March 31, 2011. Prior setuce cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of employees (14 years) in the year in which it arises and unrecognized actuarial differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of employees (14 years) from the year following that in which they arise. 3)Provision for point card certificates In order to prepare for the future cost generating from the utilization of points that customers have earned under the point services such as "flu Point Program," based on its past experience, the Company reserves an amount considered appropriate to cover possible utilization of the points during or aficr the next consolidated fiscal year. 4)Allowance for bonuses To allow lbr the payment of bonuses to employees, the company records the standard for estimated amoitms of bonuses to he paid, 5)Impairment loss on the Great East Japan Earthquake Amount for recovery of assets damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11. 2011 has been estimated. -27- c) Forci tn currency transaction All nlonelarv assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese ycn at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses are included in net profit or loss br the period. All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses for the year are translated into Japanese yen at the average exchange rate during the year and translation adjustments are included in Foreign currency translation adjustments" and Minority interests" of 'Net assets." I) Amortization of goodwill Goodwill is amortized under the straight-line method over a period of 5 to 20 years. However, minimal amounts of goodwill is recognized as expenses or gains for the year ended March 31, 2012. g) Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated cash flow statements Cash and cash equivalents are composed of cash on hand, bank deposits able to he withdrawn on denvtid and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase and which bear lower risks float fluctuations in value. It) Others Accounting method for consumption taxes Consumption taxes are accounted for using the net method of reporting. (7)Changes in Accounting Policies From the year ended March 31, 2012 : we have applied the "Accounting Standard for Earning Per Share" (Accounting Standards Board of Japan [ASBJ] Statement No.2 of June 30, 2010), the "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Earning Per Share" (ASBJ Guidance No.4 of June 30, 2010), and the "Practical Solution on Accounting for Earnings Per Share (ASS) Pill No .9 of June 30 20 10). To calculate diluted net income per share, we have changed the method to include potential services offered by the employees in the fair valuation of stock options of payment when exercising the right regarding stock options whose rights are secured afier certain period of employment. Information about the influence of this change is included in the "Per Share Information" section. (8)Changes in Presentation (Consolidated Balance Sheets) Income h\cs tetctahle listed in the year ended Mach 31 2011 has been included n Accounts receivable-other" as it has become less significant from the year ended Match 31, 2012. As a result, V32,703 million that was recorded as income taxes receivable on the consolidated balance sheets to the previous fiscal year has been included in accounts receivable-other. (9)Changes in Accounting Estimates Since August 2006, the Company and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company have offered a service enables users to carry-over unused talk lime. Ilic service allows a specified amount of the free talk time that is included in the basic monthly rate to be carried-over indefinitely. The Company and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company have estimated the amount of each months unused free talk time that is expected to be used in the future, deferred the recognition of that amount as revenue, and recorded that amount in the advances received account. However, from this consolidated fiscal year, a sufficient quantity of historical results for the estimation of the amount of unused free talk time that is expected to lapse in the future has been accumulated. and more detailed estimates of that amount have become possible. Accordingly. the amount of unused free talk time that is expected to lapse in the future is deducted from the amount of' deferred revenue. As a result, front this fiscal year. this change has had the effect of increasing revenues from telecommunications business, operating income, ordinary income, and net income by tI 0,361 million. (10)Additional Information (Application of the "Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" and others) For the accounting changes and error corrections made in after the beginning of the year ending March 31, 2012, we have applied the 'Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" (ASS) Statement No.24 of December 4. 2009) and the "Guidance oil Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" (ASI3J Guidance No.24 of b)ecember 4. 2009). -28 (II) Notes for Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements of the company are prepared under the "Regulations Concerning the terms, lornis and preparation methods for quarterly consolidated financial statements' (Minist)- of Finance Ordinance No. 28. 1976. herein alter "Regulations for consolidated financial statements"), and in accordance with these regulations and the "Rules for telecommunications business accounting" (Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications Ordinance No. 26, 1985).

(Financial Instruments) I. Status of financial instruments (I) Policy lot measures iclating to financial instruments In light of p1-ins for .'ipital investment. primarily Cot - conducting telecommunications business the Lompanies raise the funds it requires es thiou&h bank loans and bonds issuance The Companies manage temporary fund suipluscs through financial assets that have high levels of safety. Further, the Companies raise short-term working king capital through bank loans. Regarding derivatives policy, the Companies adhere to the flindsirnental principle of limiting transactions to those actually required and never conducting speculative transactions for trading profit. (2)Details of financial instruments and associated risk and risk management system Trade receivables—trade notes and accounts receivable and other accounts receivable—are exposed to credit risk in relation to customets and trading partners. For such risk, pursuant to criteria for managing credit exposure, the Companies hate systems enabling the management of due dates and balances of each customer and trading partner as well as the analysis of credit status The Companies are exposed to market puce fluctuation risk in relation to investment securities However, those are primarily the slrtucs of companies with which the Companies have operational relationships and periodic analysis of market values is reported to the Board of Directors. Almost all trade pSi) 'mbles—tiade notes and accounts payable other accounts payable and accrued expenses—have payment due dates within one year. Those trade payables are exposed to liquidity risk at time of settlement. However, the Companies reduce that risk by having each company review fund-raising plans every month. Among loans payable, short-term m lo ins payable are primarily for fund raising related to sales transactions and long-term loans payable are primarily for fund raising related to capital investment and investment and financing. Loins payable with variable interest rates are exposed to interest tale fluctuation iisk However, to reduce fluctuation risk for interest payable and fix interest expenses when it enters into long-term ni loans at variable interest rates—based on the premise that requirements for special treatment of interest rati. swaps are met in relation to evaluation of the eflcctis eness of hedges—in principle the (,onip'mnics use interest rate swap ti ins'mciions as 'i hedging method on an individual contract basis In transaction-related market risk the Group's derivative transactions have the objective of avoiding risks associated with assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. With interest rate transactions, there is a risk of interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, in regard to credit risk, the colmterpailies to the Group's derivatives transactions are financial institutions with high degrees of creditworthiness, and accordingly the credit risk of nonfulfillment by a counierparty is considered to be close to zero. In order to conduct derivative transactions, based on their company's internal regulations and regulations stipulating associated details, finance or accounting divisions must receive approval from those with final-approval authority as stipulated by authority-related regulations through consultation via an internal memo for each derivative transaction and only conduct transactions with financial institutions with high credit ratings.

To calculate diluted net income per share, we have changed the method to include potential services offered by the employees in the fair valuation of stock options of payment when exercising the right regarding stock options whose tights are secured after certain period of employment.
