Order, DA 13–598, adopted the form
and content for a survey of urban rates
for fixed voice and fixed broadband
residential services. The information
collected in this survey will be used to

and broadband services do so at
reasonably comparable rates to those in
urban areas.
Specifically, the Commission directed
the Bureaus to ‘‘develop a
methodology’’ to survey a representative
sample of facilities-based fixed voice
service providers taking into account
the relative categories of fixed voice
providers as determined in the most
recent FCC Form 477 data collection.
‘‘The Commission also delegated
authority to conduct an annual survey,
in order to specify an appropriate
minimum for usage allowances and to
adjust such a minimum over time.’’
