1 Overview of the Kansas Universal Service Fund Christine Aarnes Before the House Rural Revitalization Committee February 18, 2019
2 2 Universal Service Both the Kansas Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 contain provisions to develop universal service funds to maintain and enhance universal service. Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) - 47 U.S.C. 254 Kansas Universal Service Fund (KUSF) K.S.A
3 3 Kansas Universal Service Fund KUSF was created by the KCC and implemented March 1, 1997, as required by K.S.A Purpose of the KUSF is to assure quality services are made available to all Kansans at affordable rates. Pursuant to K.S.A (a), every telecommunications carrier, telecommunications public utility, wireless telecommunications service provider and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider that provides intrastate telecommunications services must contribute to the KUSF. The assessment may be passed through to customers, but carriers are not required to do so. Current KUSF assessment rate is 7.5% on intrastate revenues. The rate will decrease to 6.88% on March 1, 2019.

6 6 Kansas Universal Service Fund The KUSF has funded five programs, which are: High-Cost Lifeline (low income) Telecommunications Relay Service Telecommunications Access Program (TAP) Kan-Ed (No Longer Funded)
7 Total KUSF Support by Program (March 1, 1997 February 28, 2019) 7 Kan-Ed, $90,750,000, 7% Lifeline, $32,852,945, 3% Relay Service, $32,015,820, 3% TAP, $11,799,496, 1% High-Cost KUSF Lifeline High-Cost KUSF, $1,024,022,216, 86% Kan-Ed Relay Service TAP

9 9 Kansas Universal Service Fund High-Cost Support Initial KUSF high-cost support amount available for incumbent local exchange carriers was equal to the revenue lost when access charge reductions were implemented pursuant to state statute. While the initial amount of KUSF support was set to replace lost access revenues, which was revenue neutral and not necessarily cost based, K.S.A (c) requires that the Commission periodically review the KUSF to determine if the cost to provide service justifies modification of support.
10 10 Kansas Universal Service Fund High-Cost Support Price Cap Carriers Implementing a cost-based KUSF Price Cap Carriers FCC determined that support for price cap carriers, such as AT&T & CenturyLink, should be based on the cost to provide service if the network were being built given current technology rather than based on historical costs. The FCC developed a model to determine the forward looking costs of providing service and support. The KCC followed suit with the KUSF high-cost model for AT&T & CenturyLink. Pursuant to HB 2201 (K.S.A (c)(5)), AT&T ceased receiving KUSF support January 1, 2014.
