This report defines a set of distinct voice, computer, and video telecommunication services; describes several rural information applications that make use of these services; and surveys various wireline and wireless systems and technologies that are being used or that might be used to deliver these services to rural areas. Rural information applications such as distance learning require a wide range of telecommunication services, but no current system or technology is capable of delivering services to all areas. This report concludes that there are many technologie's suit.lble for providing voice telecommunication services in rural areas. It is also technically feasible to provide advanced computer networking and video capabilities to even relatively small towns in rural areas. However, no available technology could economically provide these broadband capabilities to the most isolated farms, ranches, and homes. New wireless technology would be needed to accomplish this. Government regulations and policies will also play an essential role in the development of the Rural Information Infrastructure. Different regulations and policies will likely be required in rural areas than in urban areas. Contains 66 references. Appendices list acronyms and abbreviations and describe measurements of rural spectrum usage in the 108-MHz to 19.7-GHz frequency range, conducted at Eureka, California.

Brown, Secretary Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information, and Administrator, National Telecommunications and Information Administration September 1995 PREFACE The mission of the National Telecommunications andInformation Administration (NTIA) isto promotethetechnologicaldevelopment and economic competitivenessof theU.S. telecommunications and information industries in orderto benefit the people of the United States. Among its many activities, NTIA oversees the Telecommunicationsand Information Infrastructure Assistance Program (TIIAP). TIIAP supports National Information Infrastructure (NII)planning activities and demonstration projects at the grassroots level throughout the Nation,and provides a partnering model that accelerates development of the NII by leveraging privateinvestments with limited Federal dollars. In 1994, TIIAP provided $24.4 million for 92grants in 45 states and the District of Columbia to plan, test, and/or stimulate NII activities by non-profitinstitutions (school districts, public libraries, local governments, etc.). Projectpartners contributed $40 million in matching funds, resulting in a total investment in public infrastructureof $64.4 million. The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) isthe chief research and engineeringarm of NTIA. ITS has prepared this report insupport of the objectives of TIIAP.It is available electronically through the ITS Home Pageon the World Wide Web at http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov. More information about ITS, NTIA, and TIIAPcan also be found by visiting this Web site. Certain commercial systems, equipment, and servicesare identified in this report. In no case does such identification imply recommendationor endorsement by NTIA, nor does it imply thatany of these systems, equipment, or servicesare the best available. iii 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS While many individuals and organizations supplied information for this report, theauthors would particularly like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their assistance.The photograph on the front cover showing the antenna tower and communicationsequipment operating in a forest region was provided by SRT Telecommunications Limited. ChuckGeer and Dan Sonntag of SRT Telecommunications Limited, Don Parrish of InterDigital Communications Corporation, and Jim Longnecker of Optaphone Systems (a division of CarlsonCommunications, Inc.) provided valuable technical information on the operation of variouscommunication systems in rural areas. Cody Graves of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission,Richard Ruhl of Pioneer Telephone, and Sidney Sperry of the Oklahoma Association of ElectricCooperatives were extremely helpful in providing information on rural telephone operationsand the role of cooperatives. Alice Parker of the Teletraining Institute contributed insight intodistance learning and its technical requirements.A special thanks goes to Al Romero of the Mountain Administrative Support Center, Graphic Support Services, for his tireless efforts inproducing the front cover of this report. iv CONTENTS Page EXECUTIVE SUMMARY vii ABSTRACT xi 1.

Inan April speech at Educom's National Net '95, Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary forCommunications and Information, U.S. Department of Commerce, stated We believe the following four goalsare essential to promote universal and equitableaccess to the NII:(1) preservation and advancement of theconcept of universal service, (2) promotion of community partnerships, (3) continued support foruniversities and research institutions, and (4) outreach to underserved

Even today, no mobile communication technology is more reliable, survivable, and affordable. Wide- encrypted paging for area paging systems provide effective wireless coverage on critical healthcare the ground as well as superior in-building coverage. Spok® is proud to operate the largest one-way paging and communication advanced two-way paging network in the United States. We work with healthcare organizations every day to help ensure their teams can communicate during any type of emergency situation, from code calls to disaster scenarios. “There are so many reasons to continue using pagers in a hospital environment: the ability to share pagers for code teams, as an extra “safety” alert device in a cath lab member’s profile, and as a communication tool for Environmental Services members who are notoriously hard on communication devices. But one of the key reasons we keep using pagers is if there is ever a disaster in the area, we know that cellular phone lines will be overloaded very quickly, and we can communicate with key staff via pager. There will probably always be pagers in healthcare!” Mary Ann Wise Business Systems Analyst, Northeast Georgia Medical Center Why Spok for paging in healthcare?

I am Todd Buchanan, Vice-President, Verizon Wireless Messaging Services. I am responsible for all of Verizon’s paging business, including its sales and operations. 2. My organization sells one-way and two-paging services and maintains a one-way paging network. One-way paging permits users to receive timely notification of important messages. Two-way paging business allows users to send and receive text messages. Service may be offered either by national, regional, or local carriers, or, in campus environments such as hospitals, by a local wireless network. Maps showing Verizon’s paging service areas are attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 3. The largest, national paging company by far is USA Mobility, which is the name of the new company that combines what were formerly known as Arch Wireless and Metrocall Holdings. After the combination, USA Mobility now has more than two-thirds of the pager units in service in the United States. In addition to Verizon and MCI’s SkyTel, a number of local and regional companies own and operate their own network and provide paging services to business customers and consumers in most parts of the country. Some of the regional carriers that own and operate a network that covers multiple states include Alltel, Aquis Communications, Cook Paging, Contact Wireless, Midwest Paging, Northeast Paging, SBC Paging, and TeleTouch Buchanan Declaration Paging.
