T-Mobile applies for universal service funding
The cell phone carrier T-Mobile West Corp. is asking state regulators to declare it eligible to receive federal funds to expand its wireless network in Idaho.
T-Mobile is seeking designation as an "eligible telecommunications carrier" from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.
The ETC status would mean that T-Mobile could receive support from the federal Universal Service Fund, which was created by Congress to ensure that telephone consumers in rural areas - where it costs more to build a telephone network - can have access to the same telecommunications services as consumers in urban areas at roughly the same cost.
T-Mobile currently provides service in various locations around the state. It asserts that with ETC status it will be able to provide all the services supported by the USF including access to directory and emergency services and will make discounted services available to qualifying low-income customers. The company asserts that it complies with the national consumer protection code.
If you have a new, relocated or expanded business, or announcement of events, promotions or awards, The Press wants to let our readers know. The service is free and items run Tuesday through Saturday. To get the word on the street on your movers and shakers, call city editor Bill Buley at 664-8176 Ext. 2016 or e-mail [email protected].
