NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Please provide important information such as changes in accounting or depreciation practices,
extensions or additions to the system; disposal of any substantial portion of the property of the utility;
reorganization, mergers, or consolidations with other companies; leases executed; other contracts
or agreements entered into; changes made in articles of incorporation or amendments; the
occurrence of contingency losses or gains.
Entered into one (1) Interconnection Agreement and three (3) resale agreements.
In November, 2011, the FCC released the USF/ICC Transformation Order. Certain aspects of
this order were implemented in 2012 including changes to Universal Service funding and
Intercarrier Compensation. This resulted in a reduction of intrastate access revenues which was
offset in part by the Access Recovery Charge (ARC) and Connect America Fund (CAF) ICC revenues.

• The error has not been corrected or
• The billing review is not completed.
The billing review must be completed within 90
days and:
• An explanation must be provided to you if the
bill was corrector
• You should receive a written notice of the
amount you owe and the payment due date. If
you fail to pay the amount that you owe, you
may be reported as delinquent, but
The name and address of any party to which
you were reported for delinquency must be
provided to you.
• If you do not agree with the explanation and if
you so give notice before the payment due
date, any delinquent report must state that
you dispute the claim.
• Any party receiving the delinquent report must
also be advised in writing when the matter is
settled.
If these rules are not followed, the first $50.00
for each 900/976 service charge in question
cannot be collected even it your bill was correct.
The Interexchange Carrier or Information
Provider may pursue collection of unpaid
900/976 charges through an independent
collection action.
Nonpayment of 900/976 service charges or
charges for similar types of service will not result
in disconnection of your local or long distance
service. However, access to 900/976 numbers
may be blocked for nonpayment of legitimate
charges.
You should not be billed for 900/976 services
that are not offered in compliance with federal
laws and regulations.
You may obtain blocking of 900/976 services at
no charge by calling your CenturyLink®
Customer Contact Center at the number listed
on your telephone bill.
Avoid the frustration sometimes associated with
telemarketing calls by following these five steps:
• Find out who is calling: always secure the
name of the company and individual with
whom you are speaking.
• If you are interested in the product or service
the caller is offering, request that information
be sent to you via mail. Specify that you are
not agreeing to purchase anything, but would
like to review the information in writing.
• If you are not interested, politely interrupt the
call and end the conversation.
• If you are sure you do not wish to receive
future solicitations from that company, ask to
be removed from the company's list.
• DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER
unless you are certain the call is legitimate.
PURCHASE OF GOODS AND SERVICES BY
TELEPHONE
You have important rights under the Idaho
Telephone Solicitation Act. Under this Act it is
illegal for persons attempting to sell you goods or
services by telephone (telephone solicitors):
• To intimidate or harass you In connection with
the attempted sale.
• o refuse to hang up and free your telephone
line immediately once you request them to do
so.
• o misstate the price, quality, or availability of
goods or services, or to fail to reveal all
material terms relating to the sale of goods or
services.
• To advertise, represent or imply that they have
the endorsement of any government office or
agency when they do not.
• To advertise, represent or imply that they have
a valid registration number with the Attorney
General when they do not.
• To use any unfair method of competition or
unfair or deceptive practice.
Any person not yet 18 years old who purchases
goods or services pursuant to a telephone
solicitation may cancel the purchase within a
reasonable time after the purchase is made. No
parent or legal guardian having custody of a
person not yet 18 years old is liable for the
purchase of goods or services by a person not
yet 18 years old pursuant to telephone
solicitation.
When you agree to purchase goods Or services
over the telephone, you may have a right to
reconsider and cancel your agreement for three
business days after receiving a written
confirmation of the sale.
A person whose rights are violated by telephone
solicitors may have the right to declare a
contract of purchase null and void or invoke
other remedies under the Idaho Consumer
Protection Act,
If you believe that a telephone solicitor has done
any unlawful acts, you may contact the Attorney
General's office for assistance and information
at-1 -800-432-3545 or 208-334-2424 (Boise
area).
You may place your telephone number on the
National Do Not Call Registry by calling
1-888-382-1222. (TTY 1-866-290-4236) or
on-line at DONOTCALL.GOV.
NEVADA "DO NOT CALL" LAW
Nevada now has a telecommunications
solicitation law, popularly known as a "do not
call" law. This law gives you an opportunity to
limit the telemarketing calls you receive, by
allowing you to place your phone number on a
do riot call registry. This Nevada law is in
addition to a similar federal law that went into
effect October, 2003. Nevada consumers are still
protected by the federal law. But now, Nevada
consumers are protected by Nevada's do not call
law as well.
How to Register: If you have already registered
your Nevada phone number on the national do
not call registry, you are already registered for
our do not call law. If you haven't registered your
Nevada number yet and would like to, register
for both laws for free at the nations do not call
registry's web site, www.donotcalt.gov. If you
prefer, you can also register by calling toll free
[phone]. Upon completion of the
registration process, your phone number shows
upon the national do not call registry by the
following day. However, since telemarketers
update their copies of the national do not call
registry at least every three months, it is
recommended that you allow three months
before filing a complaint. No information
contained in the registry, other than your
telephone numbers, will be disclosed to the
public. All telephone numbers and related
information in the registry will be deleted or
purged from the registry every three years.
except for any telephone number and related
information for which the Attorney General has
received a new or renewed request for inclusion
in the registry within the six months before the
potential deletion. A revised version of the
telephone numbers in the registry will be
published at least once every six months.
How to File a Complaint: It your Nevada number
has been registered on the national do not call
registry for at least 3 months, you may file a
complaint if you received a call from a non-
exempt telemarketer. To file a complaint, visit
the national do not call registry web site at
www.donOtcall.gov and select the "File a
Complaint" button. It you prefer, you can also file
a complaint by calling toll free [phone].
In filing a complaint, you need to provide either
the telemarketer's name or phone number, the
date the telemarketer called you, and your
registered phone number.
In certain cases, even though your number is
already registered, non-exempt telemarketers
may continue to call you. For instance,
companies you have done business with in the
past 18 months may continue to call you, as well
as telephone surveyors and charitable, religious
or political organizations. For more information
on the Nevada "do not call" law, please visit the
Nevada Attorney General's web site at
www.ag.state.nv.us.
