    BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Public Safety and Homeland Security ) PS Docket No. 18-339 Bureau Request for Comment on ) Hurricane Michael Preparation and ) Response ) To: Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau COMMENTS OF SOUTHERN COMPANY SERVICES, INC. By: David D. Rines LERMAN SENTER PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 T: 202.429.8970 F: 202.293.7783 Its Attorney Dated: December 17, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With a service area that encompasses a large swath of the hurricane-prone Southeastern United States, Southern Company Services, Inc., its electric utility operating company affiliates – Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company and Mississippi Power Company – and its communications service provider affiliate Southern Linc (collectively, “Southern”), have extensive experience with, and well-developed processes and procedures for, preparation, response, and restoration with respect to major storm events. Southern has seen its share of powerful hurricanes – including Opal (1995), Ivan (2004), Katrina (2005), Dennis (2005), Matthew (2016), and Irma (2017) – and was able to draw on its extensive experience with storms of such magnitude in its preparation for and recovery from Hurricane Michael. As described herein, these comments will provide the Commission with a better understanding of utility service restoration efforts following Hurricane Michael and specifically address various items in the Public Notice (Gulf Power Company will be submitting separate comments providing more specific details in response to the Public Notice, and Southern incorporates Gulf Power’s comments by reference). In addition, Southern’s comments will illustrate how Southern Linc’s implementation of utility-based standards and procedures for design, construction, and emergency preparedness and response is a key factor in the exceptional resiliency of its wireless communications network.

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: The Colorado Public Safety Broadband Governing Body Request for Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC/Commission”) Clarification on Guidelines for Commercial Network Interoperability for the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network, PS Docket No. 16-269; 12-94; 06-229; and 06-150. Ms. Dortch: Southern Linc, an Atlanta-based regional wireless carrier with network coverage throughout Alabama, Georgia, southeast Mississippi and the Florida panhandle, supports the requests of the Colorado Public Safety Broadband Governing Body (“CPSBGB”) and Cellular South, Inc. d/b/a C Spire (“C Spire”) that the Commission ensure interoperability for the nationwide public safety broadband network (“NPSBN”) as required under the Spectrum Act.1 Like CPSBGB, Southern Linc remains concerned that AT&T and FirstNet have begun to establish new barriers to interoperability between public safety communications systems and other wireless networks in the United States. The ability to exchange information between applications, databases, and systems will save lives and property and protect first responders. Erecting artificial impediments to interoperability through silence and inaction will not. Recent statements by AT&T and FirstNet demonstrate no intent to establish standards or agreements with other commercial carriers to ensure prioritized interoperability for critical public safety applications.2 Failing to provide any form of interoperability guidance to commercial operators 1 The Colorado Public Safety Broadband Governing Body’s Request for Commission Clarification on Guidelines for Commercial Network Interoperability for the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN), Comments and Request, PS Docket Nos.
