NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 29, 2015 the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") released a public notice that, pursuant to the FCC's USF/ICC Transformation Order from 2011, a rule was adopted to eliminate high-cost universal service support in ILEC study areas where an unsubsidized carrier or a combination of unsubsidized carriers offers voice and broadband services that meet certain service obligations as defined by the FCC. The public notice published the study areas where there is preliminarily determined to be 100 percent overlap between subsidized and unsubsidized carriers. The FCC has preliminarily determined that Alteva's ILEC study area in New Jersey is 100 percent overlapped. The public notice is open for comment until August 28, 2015, after which the FCC will issue its final list of 100 percent overlapped study areas. Those companies on the final list will have their high-cost support phased-out over a three-year period, based upon a calculation established by the FCC, beginning the year following the FCC's final determination. The Company is in the process of reviewing the FCC's analysis of its New Jersey territory and plans to file a response before the comment period ends. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received $0.3 million of high-cost support subsidies for its New Jersey territory.
