Please see the attached comma separated values file, which identifies, by 2010 Census Block FIPS code and wire center CLLI code, the locations where ABC Telco will deploy in satisfaction of this requirement. ABC Telco will provide all required data for each location, including 2010 Census Block FIPS code, NECA Company Code (OCN), Study Area Code, wire center CLLI code, latitude, and longitude, when such information becomes available, which shall be no later than one year from the date of this letter. The attached file contains blanks for columns for which no data is currently available.

Please distribute the funds as follows:

Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 54.312(b)(3), the undersigned certifies that (1) the locations that will be served in satisfaction of the deployment requirement associated with these funds, identified by 2010 Census block ID and wire center in the attached file, are shown as unserved by fixed broadband on the current version of the National Broadband Map (last confirmed on June 25, 2012); (2) that, to the best of the knowledge of ABC Telco, these locations are, in fact, unserved by fixed broadband; (3) that ABC Telco’s current capital improvement plan did not already include plans to complete broadband deployment within the next three years to the locations to be counted to satisfy the deployment requirement; and (4) that this incremental support will not be used to satisfy any merger commitment or similar regulatory obligation.

Sincerely,

Kelly T. Smith
