Summary: Increase the monthly Residential One Party local exchange rate from $10.94 to $14.00 effective August 11, 2013. This filing puts the company in compliance with the "urban rate floor" provision of the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund/Intercarrier Compensation Reform Order 11-161. The company has also filed to increase the monthly Business local exchange rate from $11.00 to $14.00 and decrease the rate for flat-rate Extended Area Service (EAS) by $3.00 per month. The proposed increases are largely offset for those customers who subscribe to flat-rate EAS. The annual effect of the filing will increase revenues approximately $7,200.
