Monitored, reacted to, and/or developed proposals and/or initiatives that will impact the operations of rural communications providers, their consumers and/or 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 others have often overlooked. The association's primary objective in this regard is to ensure artificial and uneconomic 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 policymakers and the public are demanding, and that the association's members are, in fact, providing. Maintaining a balance 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 formats and whether provided via land line or in a moble fashion. The association has from time to time compared notes and informally coordinated messaging with both members and non-member alike, but ultimately identifies, develops, and carries out all lobbying strategies and activities individually, under its own name. The association's advocacy efforts revolve entirely around the premise of informing and educating policymakers and the public alike about issues that are related to the provision of communications services in rural America. NTCA, its members, and rural consumers recognize that an appropriate operating environment is essential if rural providers are to be able to continue doing the effective entrepreneurial job that they always have in providing superior communications services to rural Americans. There were issues where the association did not focus on legislation itself, but rather focused on concepts and worked with different members of Congress to help them understand the related issues and/or to develop and distribute some form of public statement 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 members of Congress that are opposed to a reverse auction distribution methodolgy for universal service support. Likewise, we continued discussions on intercarrier compensation as well as phantom traffic and other cost recovery issues. We also discussed spectrum and digital television transmission issues with offices as well as braodband deployment and access to video programming and to the Internet backbone. During the reporting period, the association focused particular attention on the following measures and initiatives: Broadband Deployment: H.R. 2419-Farm Bill Extention Act-Title 6 Rural Development subsections related to RUS programs with particular attention to the RUS Broadband Program, broadband mapping and national broadband policy.

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 bases its approaches on whether or not policies are flexible in their application to rural carriers that have different needs and capabilities and that have far different economies of scale and competitive opportunities than larger carriers. As in the past, the association does from time to time compare notes and informally coordinate messaging with others, but ultimately identifies, develops, and carries out all lobbying strategies and activities individually, under its own name.

Monitored, reacted to, and/or developed proposals and/or initiatives that will impact the operations of rural communications providers, their consumers and/or 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 others have often overlooked. The association's primary objective in this regard is to ensure artificial and uneconomic 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 policymakers and the public are demanding, and that the association's members are, in fact, providing. Maintaining a balance 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 formats and whether provided via land line or in a moble fashion. The association has from time to time compared notes and informally coordinated messaging with both members and non-member alike, but ultimately identifies, develops, and carries out all lobbying strategies and activities individually, under its own name. The association's advocacy efforts revolve entirely around the premise of informing and educating policymakers and the public alike about issues that are related to the provision of communications services in rural America. NTCA, its members, and rural consumers recognize that an appropriate operating environment is essential if rural providers are to be able to continue doing the effective entrepreneurial job that they always have in providing superior communications services to rural Americans. There were issues where the association did not focus on legislation itself, but rather focused on concepts and worked with different members of Congress to help them understand the related issues and/or to develop and distribute some form of public statement 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 members of Congress that are opposed to a reverse auction distribution methodolgy for universal service support. Likewise, we continued discussions on intercarrier compensation as well as phantom traffic and other cost recovery issues. We also discussed spectrum and digital television transmission issues with offices as well as braodband deployment and access to video programming and to the Internet backbone. During the reporting period, the association focused particular attention on the following measures and initiatives: Broadband Deployment: H.R. 2419-Farm Bill Extention Act-Title 6 Rural Development subsections related to RUS programs with particular attention to the RUS Broadband Program, broadband mapping and national broadband policy.
