Local services. We receive revenues from providing local exchange telecommunications services in our eleven rural territories, from the wholesale network services in New England and on a competitive basis throughout Maine and New Hampshire. These revenues include monthly subscription charges for basic service, calling beyond the local territory on a fixed price and on a per minute basis, local private line services and enhanced calling features, such as voicemail, caller identification, call waiting and call forwarding. We also provide billing and collections services for other carriers under contract and receive revenues from directory advertising. A growing portion of our rural subscribers take bundled service plans which include multiple services, including unlimited domestic calling, for a flat monthly fee.
|
|
●
|
Network access. We receive revenues from charges established to compensate us for the origination, transport and termination of calls of long distance and other interexchange carriers. These include subscriber line charges imposed on end users and switched and special access charges paid by carriers. Switched access charges for long distance services within Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Vermont and West Virginia are based on rates approved by the Alabama Public Service Commission, the Maine Public Utilities Commission (“MPUC”), the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Cable, the Missouri Public Service Commission, the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (“NHPUC”), the Vermont Public Service Board and the West Virginia Public Service Commission, respectively, where appropriate. Switched and special access charges for interstate and international services are based on rates approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
|
|
●
|
Cable television. We offer basic, digital, high-definition, digital video recording and pay per view cable television services to the majority of our telephone service territory in Alabama, including Internet Protocol television (“IPTV”) and Video on Demand (“VOD”). We are a reseller of satellite services for DirecTV in Missouri.

Insurance Disclosure [Text Block] |
The
Company adopted a high-deductible insurance program for
health care benefits beginning in 2012. In
addition, the Company changed from a premium based plan to
self-insuring claims up to $125,000 per
participant. With this change, an accrual for
the estimated amount of self-insured healthcare claims
incurred but not reported (IBNR) is
required. The estimated accrual is based on
information provided by the Company’s insurance
broker, a third party actuary, and insurer, combined with
management’s judgments regarding a number of
assumptions and factors, including frequency and severity
of claims, claims development history, case jurisdiction,
related legislation, and claims settlement
practice. Significant judgment is required to
estimate IBNR claims as parties have yet to assert such
claims.
