2014 Annual Report Competitive Evolution Broadband Cloud Business & Enterprise Fiber International Internet Tower & Backhaul Wireless CEO Letter Competition is the foundation on which COMPTEL was built more than three decades ago. Fostering robust, competitive markets will continue to be our core mission long into the future. Competitive markets breed innovation. From the upstarts that challenged Ma Bell dominance to the bold new companies leveraging rapid technological change, we have seen the fruits of competition. But, no longer is competition about just local and long distance telephony. The entire communications ecosystem has flourished as a result of competition, bringing with it innovations in broadband, wireless, content and video services that benefit businesses and consumers. As the market has evolved, so has COMPTEL. Throughout 2014, our membership continued to diversify. Among our new members are companies that create and deliver content, lead in the social media and Internet space, provide a breadth of broadband services and compete internationally. To address the needs of our growing and changing membership base, we expanded our policy advocacy efforts, joined forces with like-minded coalitions, enhanced the experience for attendees of our twice-annual conventions, and set the stage for new opportunities to network, learn and positively impact the future of competition. We are pleased to present this annual report, which showcases our successes in 2014. And we look forward to working closely with our members, their customers and our coalition partners to protect and advance vibrant competitive markets, and the innovation that results from them.

    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.

Power 2017 U.S. Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM; the J.D. Power 2017 U.S. Residential Internet Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM; and the J.D. Power 2017 U.S. Residential Telephone Service Provider Satisfaction Study.SM “Although it seems like the world is consumed with idea of cord-cutting in the wake of Hulu’s first Emmy and the proliferation of new shows on Netflix and Amazon, the number of current pay-TV customers who plan to cut the cord has actually declined, and the number of hours spent watching old-fashioned, time-slot television is growing,” said Peter Cunningham, Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Practice Lead at J.D. Power. “We’re seeing a trend toward the co-existence of traditional and alternative service providers, with each offering some lessons to the other on how best to drive an increase in customer satisfaction.” Following are some of the key findings of the study: Streaming services make gains as traditional TV declines: Customer satisfaction with the overall streaming video service experience (7.91 on a 10-point scale) and performance and reliability (7.97) has slightly improved year over year.
