Letter from Telco Members Regarding ICC-USF Reform

October 27, 2008

Dear Fellow OPASTCO and WTA Members:

As members of the Boards of OPASTCO and/or WTA, we have been and continue to be active participants in many recent meetings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the Draft Intercarrier Compensation and Universal Service Order (“Draft Order”) being circulated by Chairman Kevin Martin to the other commissioners for consideration at the FCC’s November 4th meeting.

We would like to correct two rumors.  First, neither OPASTCO nor WTA has determined whether to support or oppose the Draft Order.  Second, neither OPASTCO nor WTA has ever supported a uniform $0.0007 access rate.
