Plateau is not going out of business
Special to the Netlink, by Tom Phelps CEO
I know that many of you have questions about your
Cooperative’s future. Allow me to take this time to address some
of those concerns.
Is Plateau going out of business? Or, will AT&T take over
landline phone and Internet services?
No!! Plateau is not going out of business or selling the
landline phone and Internet services portion of its business.
We continue to be a viable, rural telephone cooperative and a
competitive local service provider offering landline telephone
service, broadband Internet and IPTV to over 9,000 cooperative
members. In addition, we sell several types of non-regulated
high-speed Internet services (wireless Meganet, LTE Home
and broadband access via fiber to the premise), Voice Over IP
(VOIP) telephone service and IPTV to customers in our noncooperative service areas. We currently serve approximately
13,000 customers who purchase these products through
Plateau, and there are several thousand
more potential customers in markets
that haven’t even been tapped into.
In addition, we generate significant
recurring revenue each month from
selling special circuits and transport to
corporations, governments and other
telecommunications companies. The
Cooperative is constantly building more
infrastructure and has a solid projection
for growth.
If Plateau plans to stay in business
and increase its customer base, why
is it selling the wireless part of the
business?
Plateau is selling all of its wireless
phone assets because it has become
harder and harder to compete with the
national carriers due in large part to
their sizeable, nationwide networks
and significant buying power. These
same carriers either have overbuilt or
soon will overbuild Plateau’s network
instead of paying roaming fees. On top
of these issues, the Federal Universal
Service Funding is being reduced to
zero. USF has accounted for a significant
portion of the wireless revenue stream.
These factors combined with customers
who are enticed with cheap advertised
monthly rates and free handsets
substantiate the fact that it is no longer
profitable or feasible for Plateau to stay
in the wireless phone business.
I want a new phone now, but will I be able to terminate my
contract when AT&T takes over?
We can’t speak for AT&T’s future policies or plans, but chances
are that early termination fees will apply for any contract. But,
our question has to be “Why would you want to terminate?”
AT&T is buying our network because it is the best network in
the area – no other carrier has the local coverage that Plateau
has. I encourage everyone to consider waiting to see what plans
and services AT&T offers before terminating service.
What is the status of the FCC approval? How do you think
the transition is going to occur?
The Federal Communications Commission is currently
conducting its review, and it is expected to approve the sale in
late January or February. The FCC extended the comments
(continued on page 4)
UPGRADE YOUR
PHONE EVERY YEAR
How our NEW Fast Forward program works:
1. Sign up for one of Plateau’s calling plans.
2. Choose the phone you want and its corresponding monthly payment.
3. Trade in your phone every year and get a new one with the latest technology.
4. Or, if you love the phone you have, keep it and own it after your payment term.
GET THE PHONE YOU REALLY WANT FASTER,
WITH FAST FORWARD FROM PLATEAU
Call us today to learn more!
Available with 4G plans only. Upgrade is available once per year. When upgrading, customer must return their current device in decent working condition, including original box and charger. Each phone upgrade renews the
two-year agreement. If customer chooses to disconnect service with Plateau during their agreement, they will be charged the full amount of their monthly device payment multiplied by the months remaining on the 24-month
agreement. If a device is kept for 24 months, customer owns the device and only pays for service plan and any add-on services. Phone insurance of $4.99 per month is required with this program. Normal insurance policies
will be adhered to and customer is responsible for paying the corresponding deductible for the device. Certain restrictions apply.

Board of Directors nominating procedures
A Cooperative member can become a candidate for election to
the Board of Directors by two methods:
The first is to be recommended by a nominating committee.
The current Board of Directors appoints nominating committees
between 30 and 70 days before the Annual Membership
Meeting. The duty of the committees is to submit a list of
eligible candidates for the Board positions slated for election.
The nominating committees’ recommendations must be
completed and posted at least 20 days before the Annual
Meeting. There must be at least one eligible candidate for each
vacant Board Position.
The second method is to be nominated by petition. A petition
signed by at least 15 members of the Cooperative can qualify
any member in good standing with the Cooperative. The petition
must be submitted to the Cooperative’s business offices north of
Clovis at least 20 days before the Annual Membership Meeting
in order to have the name of the candidate placed on the official
ballot.
Candidates for election to the Board of Directors must meet
the following requirements as quoted from the Cooperative’s
Bylaws; Article IV, Section 5:
“No person shall be eligible to become or remain a director of
the Cooperative who:
(a) is not a member and is not presently residing in the area
served or to be served by the Cooperative;
(b) is in any way employed by or financially interested in
a competing enterprise or a business engaged in selling
telecommunications service or supplies, or constructing
or maintaining telecommunications facilities other than a
business operating on a cooperative non-profit basis for the
purpose of furthering rural telephones;
Plateau is not going out
of business
continued from page 3
period, but only one was received during that period. With the
comments period extended, the review will likely get extended as
well. So, as stated above, it may be January or February before
the FCC acts, but there is no reason to believe that the sale will
not be approved.
AT&T’s business practice is to not discuss specific transition
plans until the sale is close to finalization. Plateau is in the
beginning stages of negotiating the transition services agreement
with AT&T. Once an agreement is signed, more specific details
will be available.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, “Rumors of our demise have been
greatly exaggerated.” Plateau continues to be a PREMIER
telecommunications company. We offer a superior broadband
product, along with local customer service, support and
installation. Our products and services are competitively priced,
and Plateau has built a solid reputation over the last 65 years. We
will continue to be the Cooperative that you can be proud of.
(c) in the case of a director to be elected as the representative
of a numbered director district, is not a resident of the area
from which elected;
(d) is an employee of the Cooperative; and
(e) is related to an employee of the Cooperative as a close
relative. For the purpose of this section, close relatives
include grandparents, parents, husband, wife, children,
grandchildren, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and spouses
of any of the foregoing.”
