Re: 911 Follow Up Fiag: Follow up Flag Status: Fiagged Karen, Thanks and that's a helpful summery of a lot of new information. Intrado didn't say they.were exclusive. They said they knew their rates were near impossible for rural sites and prohibitive for 4GLTE. we need to tk to lternatives. The message I take from this is that we need to make clear to FCC and PS8 we are data only. That might mean using Google or Skype for voice even it we spent heavily on our own voice service. I almost want to say the Public Safety folks are dangerous in that it isn't their money, there are no limits in dealing with multi billion dollar "clients" and it is another example of the obsolete switched voice wireless world being top~heavy. I think if rural Vermonters were to be asked "You can call. 911 and tell them where you are and otherwise_have your-identity confidential and call 1996 minutes a month for $25 a month, or you can call 911 and they know where you are and your iidentity is not confidential and call 1686 minutes for $168 a month, many would choose the former.

Subject: RE: 911 Here's how I understand the role of Intrado: I - Intrado is a turnkey network_provider to both the telco industry AND the 911 Public Safety "Answering Points. Vermont's E911 system has a contracted relationship with Intrado as their backend provider 0% all call handling and network elements. Vermont 911 pays Intrado for these services that supply a hosted network to all_public safety answering points (9) in the state. They are the network operator, offering a suite of Functionality to E911-systems from call handling to workstations to screen management software. From your information, they are ALSO the provider to the telco industry; within wireless they look to provide the location service For a handset and the emerging text2 911 capacity. Phase I and II refer the accuracy level ot-proximity for.location services. As I understand your concerns, their "rate card" for services is'a per installation tee, regardless of.population served. Interesting model. - - It appears that there are other companies within this space: Does Intrado represent that they may be the exclusive provider to wireless companies in VT by virtue of the host system? - what provider does VTEL utilize for 911 call handling For its land line business? Some information about Vermont's 911 system:' -- currently, Intrado is the system host -- Vermont's system is one of only a few statewide 911 systems . -- The system is IP based today, far ahead of most and has completed trials on text 2 911 capabilities; these have proved to be life saving in at least 2 cases in the field -- 68% of calls are from-wireless devices, 15% overall also originate from out of state- wireless phones - - - the basis for all revenues that support Vermoht's 911 system is the state USF, levied on - voice services Hope that this is helpful.

I_don't understand who gets paid by who yet, but the Intrado contact said it would cost us "$39 million to replicate a 911 data site on our own. Maybe there is an opportunity we-donVt see.

He indicates price for E~91i to be built into can't possibly be attorded in rural Americas small'sites, and it's simply out of the question._He says it is barely understood how to price this even in cities, it, but it will be easily way over the Phase 2 prices,_ which are alreadymany times the Phase One prices, and Phase One is to $./month. 'He says Coverageco in Vermont was able to persuade Vermont's 911 folks to list them as Phase 1, which costs them about month for each of because the cells are so weak they cannot cross-connect to keep track of location, but someone like us using more .powerful Ericsson 36 technology would almost certainly be required to use Phase 2, at about month per site, but all of this pales compared to the crippling costs of VOLTE over 4 TE. .

I Michel, I'm jumping in at this point after touching base with my team this morning. It is my understanding that we have a form or license that is agreeable to all. It needs to be filled out based on the information contained in the license applications. I'll confirm that we have received this week the revised applications, and now the ball is in our court to complete-the license template on each of the_three sites based on that information. we are working on that today (now), and we will Finish as soon as we can. There will be some additional drafting work to do beyond filling in blanks driven by the need to make final occupancy contingent of approval of structural analysis, selection of tinal height, etc. that was not submitted as part of the revised application. (I believe this is understood by will and is the resolution of the "chicken and egg" discussion he mentions below.) Again, we are working on that right now. As you may recall, execution of the document for the state on state~owned sites is done by the Commissioner of DII, Richard Boes. we don't have control over whether he signs today, and this is the tirst state license with the new capacity pricing model. Ordinarily, something new might cause at least a minor delay. we will attempt, however, to get ahead of it and communicate both the urgency of the matter and that this is a concept that has been extensively vetted.
