  • Frontier's Network Is Engineered to Provide Maximum Capacity in Order to Handle Excess Traffic in the Event of Traffic Spikes Resulting from Emergency Situations
    Frontier’COMMUNICATIONS 9260E. Stockton Blvd Elk Grove, CA 95624 Filed Via Electronic Filing System June 18, 2019 Ms. Barbara Kunkel, Acting Executive Secretary Michigan Public Service Commission 7109 West Saginaw Highway Lansing, MI 48917 In the matter, on the Commission’s No. U-20357 Own Motion, on the Certification of ) Case Eligible Telecommunications Carriers ) Dear Ms. Kunkel: Attached is the FCC Form 481 on behalf of Frontier Communications of Michigan Inc. (‘Frontier”) for Study Area Code (SAC) 310682 that was filed with the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) on June 14, 2019 in compliance with 47 CFR § 54.313 and 47 CFR § 54.422’. Section 54.313 applies to an eligible telecommunications carrier (“ETC”) receiving high-cost federal USE support. Section 54.422 applies to ETCs receiving low-income support. Both sections require the ETC to file the annual report with the Universal Service Administrative Company. Beginning with the filing due in 2018, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) made changes to the requirements. The FCC no longer requires that high-cost recipients file information regarding network outages; unfulfilled requests; the number of complaints received by an ETC per 1,000 subscribers for voice and broadband services; and pricing for voice and broadband services. The FCC Form 481 no longer includes certifications for high-cost recipients regarding service quality standards and consumer protection rules.
