TTY: 1-888-835-5322 Washington, D.C. 20554 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT: June 15, 2009 Arthur Lechtman (202) 418-0437 FCC RELEASES 2007 INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC DATA Washington, D.C. - The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today released a report entitled 2007 International Telecommunications Data regarding international message telephone, private line and miscellaneous services between the United States and other countries. Statistical Findings • International facilities-based and facilities-resale traffic together decreased slightly from 72.4 billion minutes in 2006 to 70.0 billion minutes in 2007. For purposes of categorizing traffic, a facilities- based carrier provides service using its own international transmission facilities, while a facilities- resale carrier provides service utilizing international circuits leased from other reporting international carriers. • Collectively, U.S. billed minutes decreased 3.3%. • Carriers expressed various different reasons for the decrease in their U.S. billed minutes. Most commonly, carriers indicated the overall U.S. economy, decreases in calling card minutes, and minutes lost to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) seemed to influence the decrease in minutes. • U.S. billed revenues for international telephone, private line and other miscellaneous services decreased collectively 10.5%, from $8.1 billion in 2006 to $7.2 billion in 2007. International Services Billed Revenues (Shown in Thousands of Dollars) 2006 2007 Percent Change Telephone $7,298,888 $6,524,486 -10.6% Private Line and Other Miscellaneous 792,361 716,516 -9.6% Total Billed Revenues $8,091,249 $7,241,002 -10.5% • U.S. carriers’ net settlement payments (the amount they pay foreign carriers to terminate traffic overseas) increased 1.8%. Receipts from foreign carriers dropped 32% from $516 thousand in 2006 to $352 thousand in 2007. As a result, net settlement payments increased during the same period. Retained international revenues (revenues after settlement payments are made) decreased 18.9% from 2006 to 2007. Total Billed Revenues, Net Settlement Payments, and Retained Revenues (Shown in Thousands of Dollars) 2006 2007 Percent Change Total Billed Revenues $8,091,249 $7,241,002 -10.5% Net Settlement (3,291,722) (3,350,238) 1.8% Retained $4,799,527 $3,890,764 -18.9% • Resale traffic grew 40.1% from 54.1 billion minutes in 2006 to 75.8 billion minutes in 2007. Billed revenues for resale services increased from $6.1 billion in 2006 to $7.0 billion in 2007. The total number of carriers reporting resale services increased 15.2% from 927 in 2006 to 1,068 in 2007.

Passed unanimously by legislators, HB 244 includes provisions to entice companies to extend their services to parts of the state that currently lack adequate digital resources. The state Public Service Commission (PSC) announced that rates for the attachment of broadband technology to utility poles will increase in areas already served by broadband. However, starting on July 1, the EMC's will only charge telecom providers $1 for pole attachments in underserved areas. The "One Buck Deal" is part of Georgia's plan to address the digital divide. “With today’s vote, the Georgia PSC is giving broadband providers access to utility infrastructure at a cost of next-to- nothing in the locations where Georgia needs broadband the most,” Georgia EMC President/CEO Dennis Chastain told the Observer. “With today’s decision, EMCs are poised and ready to partner with broadband providers across the state to help them expand into our rural service territories.” Continue Reading Tower Tech Fatally Injured in Fall Inside Towers sources have confirmed that 24-year-old James Shumate of Houston, TX was killed in a fall from a tower in Spokane County in northeastern Washington.

In Latin America, there are still some deficiencies in this regard which result in many people experiencing high latencies in their connections. The main reason for these latencies is the lack of local interconnection between different network operators, which means that traffic between nearby countries must often use distant Internet exchange points, located in the United States or Europe. The deployment of various Internet exchange points (IXPs) has helped improve this situation, although the actual status of connectivity between countries and networks remains a mystery. To find answers to these unknowns, some time ago LACNIC created Simón1, a project that seeks to generate information by measuring latency levels between countries and in this way estimate traffic volumes.

  • CBRS) Shared Spectrum: an Overview
    Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) Shared Spectrum: An Overview The U.S. is at the forefront of innovation that will transform mobile communications globally: spectrum sharing. Spectrum refers to the range of electromagnetic radio frequencies utilized to transmit wireless signals throughout the world. Television and radio broadcasts, navigational GPS devices and satellite communications exploit spectrum to carry their signals. All wireless telecommunication signals, including voice, data and video, travel through the air using these radio frequencies. As a result of its broad and necessary applications, U.S. spectrum is distributed between federal and commercial use. Ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, spectrum is physically bound, meaning it cannot be produced, but rather must be reallocated. Figure 1. US Spectrum Allocation The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) administers spectrum for non-federal use, monitoring and managing allocation to local governments, commercial and private businesses, and personal users. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) regulates and administers the federal use of spectrum, including use by the Department of Defense (DoD). ©2017 Federated Wireless. All rights reserved. This document is Public Information 1 However, spectrum is often used inefficiently – especially in bands being used exclusively by the federal government. On the other hand, mobile operators are reaching the limits of their allocated spectrum as mobile data usage grows exponentially each year. The Solution In an effort to develop better utilization and ensure that there is enough available spectrum to support the explosive growth of wireless data, the FCC has paved the way for the dynamic nationwide sharing of spectrum – starting with the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the 3.5 GHz radio band.

All satellites are received with uniform performance. Because satellite programming is constantly changing, satellite broadcast users need to constantly adapt to new and different channels and satellites. Simulsat antennas have long provided the ultimate multibeam antenna solution to these needs. The Simulsat improves users’ ability to take advantage of immediate and future revenue opportunities without the need for an antenna farm and without the trouble of additional permits or foundations that multiple antennas require.

  • Columbus Communications Limited
    Response to Universal Service Consultation Document Consultation Document No December 4 2015 Initial Comments Response from Columbus Communications Limited Submitted February 22 2015 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Columbus Communications Limited thanks the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority (ECTEL) and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC) of Grenada, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines for the opportunity to provide input to the consultation on proposed changes to the Universal Service Fund in ECTEL member states. The views expressed herein are not exhaustive. Failure to address any issue in our response, does not in any way indicate acceptance, agreement or relinquishing of Columbus’ rights. 1.2 Historically universal service (US) and universal access (UA) policies and programmes sought to promote affordable access to telephone services. With industry trends such as increased access to mobile services, shift from voice centric to data centric communication, and convergence of underlying carriage technology for traditional telecommunications and broadcasting services, US and UA programmes have been extended to include broadband. As the market continues to change, the concepts continue to be redefined, particularly in developed markets where the level of access to broadband service is much higher than that which obtains in ECTEL states. Within this context, and taking account of the current state of broadband development in ECTEL States, and the required investments to expand infrastructure to unserved areas, we believe that at this stage the primary focus of universal service fund programmes should be; a. Availability – expand infrastructure to unserved areas b. Accessibility - allow access to all citizens including those with disabilities c. Affordability - pursue projects to defray the cost for citizens who live in high cost areas (i.e.
