Pursuant to applicable FCC guidelines, any required testing would be accomplished by using existing network management systems and tools. The FCC has adopted requirements regarding when tests would begin, when exactly we may perform the tests, and the number of active subscriber locations we would be required to test. Once testing begins, test results must be reported and certified to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and State Commission on an annual basis. As it relates to randomly-selected subscribers, this required performance testing is in addition to the automatic testing we may do to measure or monitor performance and improve our service levels generally.
