This past year, we made great strides in developing Next Generation 911 by setting into motion the 911 Service System Advisory Committee and it’s many sub-committees responsible for areas of the NG 911 plan such as funding, training, GPS, technical, operations, etc. Our new connections-based surcharge went into effect on April 1, and is doing what we intended in capturing dollars which should have been contributed to the Nebraska Universal Service Fund over the past several years and at the same time restoring the fund size. The NUSF saw several big impact changes, including stabilizing the fund, making it predictable, and giving a new look to how those funds are dispersed. All of this matters because it means we can send more money out into the countryside where Nebraskans need and want better broadband. This multi-million dollar fund that benefits our most rural, high cost areas of the state is crucial in reaching those last customers who have no, little or undependable broadband service. At the precise moment that we are assisting carriers in pushing broadband further out into remote areas, we continue to work very closely with carriers whose customers – most especially their voice/land line customers – struggle to receive dependable, affordable, good quality service. And this matters to all of Nebraska, because our state thrives when we all thrive: rural Nebraska’s contribution to our state GDP is central to our state’s success. While NG 911 and our NUSF high cost funds garner much time and attention, we remain focused on funding more mobile wireless towers and determining how to update that application and qualification process, on our programs which assist our vulnerable and low-income citizens, and on what may be coming around the bend from both the Nebraska Rural Broadband Task Force and the Legislature. The Commission accomplished a great deal in 2018-2019. Generally we celebrate for about one minute, then get to work on the next step or goal. We welcome your ideas and opinions as we work to make your communication services in Nebraska among the best in the United States. Sincerely, Mary Ridder Michael G. Hybl, Executive Director Public Service Commission P.O. Box 94927 OFFICE 402-471-3101 FAX 402-471-0254 300 The Atrium, 1200 N Street CONSUMER HOTLINE 800-526 -0017 Lincoln, Nebraska 68509 psc.nebraska.gov iii Executive Summary This report includes information on a multitude of communications issues. The Commission continues its efforts to facilitate the transition to Internet networks and increase the availability of broadband services across the state. A brief overview follows: Nebraska Universal Service Fund (NUSF) The Commission took steps to stabilize the Universal Service Fund by implementing a per-connection surcharge mechanism for residential services. The surcharge, starting April 1, and continuing through the 2020 fiscal year, was set at $1.75 per connection. Business services remain at least temporarily, on a revenues-based surcharge mechanism, and assessed at 6.95% of assessable revenues. The Commission, through its NUSF-108 proceeding, continued to modify the allocation mechanisms to promote and incentivize broadband buildout in area that lack service. The Commission provided support for the construction of eight mobile wireless towers in areas that lack sufficient coverage. The Commission continues to support low-income residents through its Nebraska Telephone Assistance Program (NTAP). More than 5,700 residents were supported through this program in 2019. The Commission continued its participation on the Rural Broadband Task Force, which aims to examine technologies and strategies to bring broadband to high cost rural areas. The Commission initiated a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a reverse- auction mechanism to reallocate universal service support in areas that lack broadband. State 911 On December 13, 2017, the Commission presented the 911 Service System, NG911 Master Plan to a joint session of the Legislature’s Transportation and Telecommunications and Appropriations Committees. LB993, introduced by Senator Curt Friesen, created the 911 Service System Advisory Committee, consolidated funds into the 911 Service System Fund and authorized the implementation of Next Generation 911 (NG911) in Nebraska as of July 1, 2018. The 911 Service System Fund will support implementation, coordination, deployment, management and maintenance of 911 Service System, NG911 Master Plan. iv Executive Summary Continued…. The State 911 Department is working with the 911 Service System Advisory Committee to develop and issue a Request For Proposal (RFP), for a vendor hosted statewide Emergency Services Internet Protocol Network (ESInet) and Next Generation 911 Core Services (NGCS). The creation and maintenance of NG911 Specific 911 Geographic Information System (GIS) data remains a high priority so that 911 calls in the NG911 environment can be located and routed geospatially. Legislative Action- 2019 LB 184- The goal of this bill was to facilitate efficient and uniform siting practices for small cell wireless facilities. LB268- This bill modifies one of the tests for which a boundary change may be approved to be whether the applicant is receiving or able to receive, at the time of the application, broadband from the incumbent provider. LB462- This bill made modifications to the authority of the Commission to regulate certain aspects of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Interexchange (LXC), mobile wireless, and paging services, and modified the requirements for filing tariffs. LB 641- This bill provided the Commission with a mandate to create and administer a grant process for a 211 Information and Referral Network. v T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S PART I - Overview 1.

  • Funding for the Telecommunications Relay
    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: FUNDING FOR THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ) CASE NO. RELAY SERVICE ) 2017 -00358 ORDER On September 14, 2017, the Commission issued an Order in this proceeding requiring that the Telecommunications Relay Service ("TRS") fund surcharge be reduced by one cent ($0.01) to one cent ($0.01) per month effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the Commission established a deadline to receive comments regarding a frequency schedule for the Commission to review the TRS fund and related surcharge in the future. The Commission received no comments. The Commission finds that it will conduct a formal review of the TRS fund and the surcharge on an annual basis. Annual reviews of the TRS fund should reduce the potential for large balance shortfalls and overages. Annual reviews will commence approximately 120 days from the end of the calendar year, with the goal of implementing any changes on the first day of the following calendar year. The goal would also be to issue an order within 60 days of the initiation of the annual review so that providers will have ample time to implement any changes, if ordered. These annual formal reviews would be in addition to ongoing monitoring and would not prevent the Commission from making any changes in the interim period. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: 1. The Commission annually will conduct a fo rmal review of the TRS fund to determine if a change in the surcharge is warranted. 2. This case is closed and removed from the Commission's docket.

  • Legislature's Planning Committee Hearing July 14, 2017
    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Rough Draft Legislature Committee July 14, 2017 [] The Legislature's Planning Committee met at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 14, 2017, in Room 1003 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing. Senators present: Paul Schumacher, Chairperson; Tony Vargas, Vice Chairperson; Joni Craighead; Merv Riepe; Jim Scheer; Dan Watermeier; and Matt Williams. Senators absent: Matt Hansen, and John Stinner. SENATOR SCHUMACHER: (Recorder malfunction)...in making law in planning for the future of the state. Let's look at trends. Let's try to figure out where we're going, if there's anything we can do to change where we're going in case we don't like where we're going, what are the consequences of these trends. And try to put them in context. And in the first eight years of the Planning Committee the effort was a whole lot of research, research into those trends, and the first two meetings of this year's Planning Committee, one we had a month ago and this one, is kind of a review of some of the major trends, some of the major statistics that were uncovered in those first eight years of study with an effort to asking the question: Should we do another statutory task that we've been assigned and that is propose legislation trying to get ahead of some of the trends or trying to adopt to the trends? And so that is the second part, or today's meeting is the second of those two meetings of review that we're doing for the benefit of the new people on the committee, and everybody is new on the committee with the exception of Senator Riepe and myself.
