    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: AN INQUIRY INTO THE STATE CASE NO. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND 2016·00059 ORDER On February 1, 2016, the Commission, on its own motion, initiated this administrative proceeding to investigate the current and future funding, distribution, and administration of the Kentucky Universal Service Fund ("KUSF") , which provides supplemental support for authorized telecommunications carriers that also participate in the federal Lifeline program. The Commission stated that the need for the investigation arose from the projected depletion of the KUSF by April 2016, at which time the fund will no longer be able to meet its monthly obligation, absent action to increase funding or reduce spending. The Commission named as parties the Attorney General's office; all Local Exchange Carriers; all commercial mobile radio service providers; and all eligible telecommunications carriers, and established a procedural schedule providing for the filing of testimony by parties, discovery, and an opportunity for a hearing. In initiating this investigation, the Commission's February 1, 2016 Order cited the need to maintain the solvency of the KUSF and proposed to either temporarily raise the KUSF per-line surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14 or to temporarily lower the amount of state support. Any comments addressing either proposal were required to be filed no later than February 22, 2016. The Commission received a total of nine joint and/or individual comments from the parties to the case, as well as three comments from members of the public. Four joint and/or individual comments 1 expressed support for the Commission's proposal to temporarily raise the per-line monthly surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14.

Summary Performance In general, GCA Savvian’s wireless indices reflected the broader markets’ struggles in Q1: our wireless carrier index was off 31% while our mobile content and integrated wireless / wireline indices were in line with the Nasdaq, Observations down 13% and 10%, respectively; our infrastructure universe (up 3%) was the only index in positive territory. Trading Data The domino effect following Verizon’s announcement of a $99 per month unlimited calling plan contributed to stock Transaction Activity price declines for service providers as investors fear carriers have started down a slippery slope with respect to their longer-term pricing strategy and risk becoming simply raw bandwidth providers. GCA Savvian Update In Q1, we tracked 21 M&A transactions within our wireless universe representing $335MM in disclosed value and 59 private companies that raised $480MM in venture capital.
