INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY LARIAT was among the first, if it was not the very first, of the world’s terrestrial, wireless high speed Internet service providers (WISPs), which now number between 4,000 and 8,000 in the United States alone. With more than 17 years of experience in the deployment of wireless broadband and an Electrical Engineer (MSEE Stanford 1985) at the helm, LARIAT provides high quality broadband Internet to a large and growing service area in southeastern Wyoming, less than 5% of which has access to “wired” broadband options (e.g. DSL or cable modem service). It also competes gamely with much larger providers – including cable and telephone incumbents Bresnan Communications and Qwest – in the few more densely populated areas where these companies have deployed high speed Internet service. As a pioneer in the deployment of Internet service to unserved and underserved areas, LARIAT is 1 In re a National Broadband Plan for Our Future, Notice of Inquiry, GN Docket No. 09-51, FCC 09-31 (Apr. 8, 2009) (“Notice”). uniquely

Attorneys Richard G. Smith, Eugene Ritti and Dennis Lopach represented Qwest. Attorneys Peter Crossett, Keith Jones and Brent Coleman represented the Department of Revenue (“DOR” or “Department”). Testimony was presented, exhibits were received, and post-hearing briefs were submitted. The Board having fully considered the testimony, exhibits, and submissions, hereby finds and concludes as follows. ISSUES The main issue presented in this matter is whether the DOR properly determined a taxable value for Qwest’s telecommunication operating property as of January 1, 2007. In order to decide this matter, the Board considered four separate issues. 1 1. Has the Department of Revenue properly valued Qwest’s telecommunication operating property on a system unit basis as of January 1, 2007? 2. Did the Department of Revenue consider adequate obsolescence when valuing Qwest’s property? 3. Are the intangible values identified by Kane Reece properly deductible from the system unit value? 4. Does Qwest have a valid Constitutional discrimination claim? FINDINGS OF FACT AND PRINCIPLES OF LAW 1. The issue involved in this matter is the 2007 valuation of the telecommunications operating property owned by Qwest, a telecommunications corporation, for purposes of ad valorem taxation in the state of Montana.

    URGENT! PLEASE DELIVER www.cablefaxdaily.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 5 Pages Today Friday — May 15, 2009 Volume 20 / No. 092 Get It Right: Former FCC Heads Weigh In on Broadband Policy No matter where they sit on the political spectrum, panelists at Free Press’ “Changing Media” Summit in DC agreed that the country’s broadband policy is a big deal. Putting together the plan, on which the FCC is taking comments until June 8, is another matter. “National broadband policy should be in the office of the President, not at the FCC,” former FCC chmn Michael Powell said. His reasoning is that broadband will be key in solving national problems—health care, the economy, etc. Powell, a Republican and Bush nominee, argued that the previous administration never committed to a broadband policy. “I’m much more encouraged that our current president speaks of it, but I think it being developed inside a regulatory agency is fundamentally a mistake,” he said, complaining that the FCC is saddled with a severe amount of regulatory restraint. Another former FCC chmn at the summit, Clinton appointee Reed Hundt, also stressed the signifi cance of upcoming broadband decisions. “In my view, the biggest single impact on future communications in America consist of the choice made by Commerce and the Dept of Agriculture on spending of the broadband stimulus,” he said. Meanwhile, Hundt called a myth the notion that the $7.2bln in funds provided for broadband stimulus are insuf- fi cient. If the money is divided into tiny little grants with no coordinated purpose, then no, it doesn’t go far, he said—but done right, “this is more than enough to completely alter the structure of broadband in America for 50 years.” For ex- ample, if used for loan guarantees, the $7.2bln would represent $70bln, which would mean $140bln in new cap ex, he said.
