If the gap in coverage is no more than 5% of the total population of a given commitment, no penalties will apply.
Otherwise, penalties will apply according to the tiers adopted by the Commission.
Additionally, it is possible to have a negative gap in coverage if the upper limit of the confidence interval is greater than the total committed population. If a provider has committed to multiple tiers of technology i.e., 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, then any excess coverage, as defined by a negative gap in coverage, can be applied to the next lowest tier of technology. For example, if a provider has committed to cover 25,000 people with 4G LTE and the upper limit of the confidence interval shows adequate coverage for 30,000
people, then the remaining 5,000
coverage can be applied to its 3G
commitment. This process is iterative, so any further excess coverage can be applied to its 2G commitment.
Accordingly, the formula above would be re-written as:
Gap in Coverage = Total Population Coverage Commitment X +
1.28NVx + Excess Coverage from Higher Technology This methodology therefore will not punish carriers for improving coverage beyond what they committed.
IV. Procedural Matters Initial Regulatory Flexibility Certification. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Commission certifies that the proposals in this Public Notice, if adopted, will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This Public Notice seeks comment on the drive testing proposals required by the Alaska Plan for those wireless participants receiving more than $5
million in annual Alaska Plan support, excluding the smaller wireless participants that receive less than that in annual support. The proposals, if adopted, would apply to only two entities, one of which does not qualify as a small entity.
Ex Parte Presentations. This proceeding shall be treated as a permitbut-disclose proceeding in accordance with the Commissions ex parte rules.
Persons making ex parte presentations must file a copy of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any oral presentation
