Re: In the Matter of the Petition from the Residents of the Shoup Area Requesting Extended
Area Service into Salmon, Idaho - Case No. GNR-013
Dear Ms. Nordstrom:
Pursuant to the First Production Request of the Commission Staff to CenturyTel of Idaho (dated
June 24, 2004) in the above-referenced matter, CenturyTel of Idaho provided its responses to
Staffs requests under cover of my letter to you dated July 23 2004.
In that response, Century Tel indicated that it had not yet completed the engineering study needed
to make a final determination as to the man-hours, equipment and/or facilities that might be
necessary to provide the contemplated EAS into our North Fork and Salmon exchanges.
CenturyTel did commit to the provision of a revised analysis after the engineering study was
complete. The study is now complete, and shows that less equipment and facilities cost and less
switch set-up time would be required than initially estimated. The revised analysis is contained in
an Excel file on the enclosed diskette, and a copy of the analysis is also enclosed.
You will note that the revised analysis demonstrates that the net monthly CenturyTel customer
impact per access line has been reduced to $0.09 per access line per month, from the earlier
estimates ranging from $0.18 to $0.42 per access line per month.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. I may
be reached at [phone].
Sincerely,
~D. CQfk-
