that primarily offer wireless telephony. This category includes LTR

dispatch or community repeater systems.

Toll Reseller

-- provides long distance telecommunications services primarily by

reselling the long distance telecommunications services of other carriers.

Wireless Data

-- provides mobile or fixed wireless data services using wireless

technology. This category includes the provision of wireless data services

by resale.

The Worksheet also provides boxes for "Other Local," "Other Mobile," and "Other Toll." If one of these categories

is checked, the filer should describe the nature of the service it provides under the check boxes.

Line (106) – use this block to provide a common identifier for all affiliated filers . Typically, this would be the

name of the filer's holding company or controlling entity, if any. The common name used by all affiliates need not

be a common carrier. All reporting affiliates or commonly controlled entities should have the identical name

appearing on line (106). An affiliate is a "person that (directly or indirectly) owns or controls, is owned or controlled

by, or is under common ownership or control with, another person." See 47 U.S.C. § 153(1).

Line (107) -- provide the FCC Registration Number (FRN). The FRN is a ten-digit number that includes a check-

digit. The FRN is used to identify an entity within all Commission Licensing/Filing systems and Ramis (the

Commission’s Revenue Accounting Management Information System.) This number is assigned by CORES (the

Commission Registration System) and can be obtained at https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cores/CoresHome.html. For

assistance, contact the CORES help desk at (877) 480-3201 or by e-mail at CORES@fcc.gov.

Line (108) -- provide the name of the management company, if the filer is managed by an entity other than itself. If

the reporting entity and one or more other telecommunications provider(s) are commonly managed, then each should

show the same management company on Line (108). Filers need not be affiliated to have a common management

company. The management company would typically be the point of contact for the administrators of the support

mechanisms.

Line (109) -- enter the complete mailing address of the corporate headquarters of the reporting entity.

Line (110) -- provide a business address of the reporting entity that could be used either for customer inquiries or

that parties could use to contact the carrier in order to resolve complaints. If this address is the same as the mailing

address of the corporate headquarters on line (109), then enter "same" on this line.

Line (111) -- enter a telephone number that can be used to resolve customer complaints, for customer service or

billing inquiries. Typically, this would be a customer toll-free number, such as an 800 or 888 number.

Line (112) -- provide all names that the reporting entity used in the past three years for providing

telecommunications. The Worksheet provides space for additional names for carrier activities (other than that

contained on Line (104)). Use an additional sheet if this space is not sufficient. Enter all names by which the filer

would be known to customers, government bodies, creditors, the press, etc. This list must include the carrier's

billing agents if those parties, rather than the carrier, are identified on customer bills. This list also should include

names of predecessor companies that would have filed a universal service, TRS, NANP, local number portability or

Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet in the prior year. In such cases, include the prior File r 499 ID as part of

the name. This information will be used by the administrators in instances where other information indicates that a

non-filer might exist, and also to ensure that entities are not billed improperly for predecessor companies that no

longer exist.
