Cable One VoIP LLC

Designated Eligible Carrier

Application

Case No. PU-21-123

NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR

HEARING

April 14, 2021

On March 30, 2021, Cable One

VoIP LLC (Cable One) filed an appli-

cation for designation as an eligible

telecommunications carrier (ETC)

for the purpose of receiving Federal

Communications Commission’s

(FCC) Rural Digital Opportunity

Fund Phase I funding in FCC speci-

fied census blocks in North Dakota.

The FCC requires that Cable One

be designated as an ETC by June 7,

2021. Cable One proposes to pro-

vide these services using a combi-

nation of its own facilities and the fa-

cilities of other carriers.

In the March 30, 2021 application,

Cable One also seeks designation

as an ETC for the purpose of receiv-

ing federal universal service support

for low-income consumers under 47

CFR Part 54 Subpart E. Cable One

proposes to provide lifeline service

in the Reed, Briarwood, Fargo,

Prairie Rose, Horace, Frontier, Cass

and Reile’s Acres areas within the

Fargo exchange. Such designation

is also known as Lifeline-only ETC

designation. Cable One proposes to

provide Lifeline universal services to

qualifying low-income North Dakota

customers using a combination of its

own facilities and the facilities of oth-

ers.

The issues to be considered in both

matters are:

1. Is the applicant qualified under the

Telecommunications Act of 1996,

Section 214(e) for designation as an

ETC eligible to receive federal

universal service funding?

2. What ETC universal service sup-

port area should be designated?

3. Is designation of the applicant as

an ETC in the public interest?

Those interested are invited to com-

ment on the application in writing.

Persons desiring a hearing must file

a written request identifying their in-

terest in the proceeding and the rea-

sons for requesting a hearing. Com-

ments and requests for hearings

must be received by May 24, 2021.

If deemed appropriate, the Commis-

sion can determine the matter

without a formal hearing.

Capitol, Bismarck, North Dakota
