Ability to Remain Functional in Emergencies Certification
§54.313(a)(1)
ETCs must demonstrate that it has a reasonable amount of back-up power to ensure functionality without
an external power source, is able to re-route traffic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing
traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations.
§54.202(a)(2) Demonstrate its ability to remain functional in emergency situations, including a
demonstration that it has a reasonable amount of back-up power to ensure functionality without an external
power source, is able to reroute traffic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing traffic spikes
resulting from emergency situations.
I, James K. Brooks, being of lawful age, state that I am Treasurer/Controller of
Inland Telephone Company ("Company")(SAC 472423), that I am authorized to execute
this certification on behalf of the Company, and that the facts set forth in this certification
are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
On this basis, the Company certifies that it maintained the ability to function in
emergency situations under the standard found in Idaho Public Utilities Commission
Order No. 29841 and in 47 C.F.R. §54.202(a)(2), as such standards relate to functionality
of wireline carriers in emergency situations. The Company further certifies that it
maintains back-up power to ensure functionality without an external power source in the
forms of auxiliary generators and batteries in its central offices as well as adequate battery
back-up in its subscriber carrier cabinets. For its fiber-to-the-premise deployment in its
Leon exchange, the Company offers for sale battery back-up for the optical network
terminal. The Company's switching capability is more than adequate to manage the traffic
of its subscribers.
The two Idaho exchanges have toll routing through Centurylink/Lumen (via TDM)
and therefore do not have redundant toll routing. In both exchanges, customers can
continue to make calls within the exchange should the interexchange interconnected
facilities get disconnected. The Company does not have "ring" technology at this time
however; the Company is always looking for redundant routing alternatives.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the
foregoing is true and correct.

The Company offers at least one broadband service plan that meets the relevant
metrics in both of its Idaho exchanges; the pricing benchmark for the minimum speed
standard of 10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream, and unlimited capacity Allowance.
The Company's rate for a 10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream service is $60.00; the
benchmark is $89.78. In its Lenore exchange, the Company also offers and advertises a
fixed wireless broadband alternative; the maximum offered is 25 Mbps downstream/25
Mbps upstream, and unlimited capacity allowance for $75.00. The closest benchmark is
25 Mbps downstream/5 Mbps upstream for $87.58. In the Company's Leon exchange,
fiber-to-the-premise is available. The Company's rate for a 100 Mbps downstream/20
Mbps upstream, and unlimited usage capacity is $80.00; the benchmark is $85.85. On
this basis, the Company certifies that the pricing of a service that meets the Commission's
broadband public interest obligations is no more than the applicable benchmark
announced in Public Notice DA 24-1250; compliant pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 54.313(a)(3).

the-premise and 50 Mbps downstream/10 Mbps upstream where available to customers
served from copper facilities in its Leon exchange. The Company currently offers and
advertises a maximum speed of 20 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream to customers
served by copper and a fixed wireless broadband alternative with a maximum speed of
25 Mbps downstream/25 Mbps upstream in its Lenore exchange and has consciously
limited its offering based on bandwidth to the Internet from this exchange location. The
Company currently conditions service offerings as they are not available throughout these
exchanges; based on the facilities available.
On this basis, the Company certifies, pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 54.313(f)(1)(i), that
it has taken reasonable steps to provide upon reasonable request, broadband service at
actual speeds of 10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream, with latency suitable for real-
time applications, including Voice over Internet Protocol, and usage capacity that is
reasonably comparable to comparable offerings in urban areas, and that requests for
such service are met within a reasonable amount of time.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the
foregoing is true and correct.

to provide the following statement on behalf of the Company, and that the facts set forth
in this statement are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

provides service in a non-discriminatory manner and does not unlawfully discriminate on
