The association's primary objective in this regard is to ensure artifical and unecomomic hurdles and barriers are not placed in their way as they attempt to provide such rural communications services. The association believes in setting the appropriate stage to provide rural carriers with the necessary tools to allow adequate cost recovery for the infrastructure and services companies are providing to rural Americans. Maintaining a balanced formula of cost recovery consisting of fair consumer rates, appropriate intercarrier compensation, and adequate universal service are all key to this objective. The association further believes that competitive entrants to the business should be willing to live up to the same industry responsibilities surrounding these concepts that incumbent rural carriers have met for decades. In addition, the association strongly advocates for fair access to all forms of content and infrastructure whether in voice, video, or data format. The association has also worked as a partner with numerous coalitions and alliances, some of which are operating in a more formal manner than others, such as the Coalition to Keep America Connected, which conducts grassroots oriented activities to inform and educate policymakers and the public alike about issues that are related to the provision of communications services in rural America. The rural population that is served by the association's members agrees with the belief that it is essential that an appropriate operating environment is able to exist for these small businesses to be able to continue doing the effective entrepreneurial job that they always have in providing superior communications services to rural America. There were issues where the association did not focus on legislation itself, but rather focused o issues and worked with different members of Congress to help them understand the related issues and/or to issue some form of public statement, letter, memo on the given subject. For example, we worked with a number of offices to try to ensure that the Federal Communications Commission understood that there were many member of Congress that wanted to see the Federal State Joint Board recommendation on cappng universal service support to wireless carriers ultimately implemented. Likewise, we discussed the issue of fair roaming access with many offices and the fact that rural carriers continue to have a hard timefairly participating in the spectrum auction process. We also focused heavily on ensuring that the digital television transition remains on track to ensure the spectrum is ultimately freed up that will yield additional auctions of this resource to the private sector. In addition, during the reporting period the association focused particular attention on the following: H.R. 278 - To amend section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934 to provide that funds received as universal service contributions and the universal service support programs established pursuant to that section are not subject to certain provisions of Title 31, United States Code, commonly known as the Antideficiency Act.

S. 92 - A bill to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the unlawful acquisition and use of confidential customer proprietary network information and for other purposes. Monitor, react to, and develop proposals that will impact the operations of rural communications providers and the association. With regard to the measures listed below, the association is committed to pursuing a policy environment that allows the association's members to continue serving the high cost markets few or no other entities have cared to serve.
