During this period, CenturyTel, Inc. did not file ARMIS data because its
operating companies were below the revenue threshold requirement. CenturyTel
was granted a waiver from filing in calendar year 2000 and 2001, see Phase
II Report and Order, FCC 01-305. In July 2000, CenturyTel purchased study
area jurisdiction Arkansas (GTAR) from Verizon-GTE, which was below the revenue
threshold requirement and became a rate-of-return operating company.

During calendar year 2000, CenturyTel’s Washington study area jurisdiction,
CenturyTel Washington, Inc. (CNWA) was above the revenue threshold requirement
and was required to start filing ARMIS data for calendar year 2002. CenturyTel
Washington, Inc. is an operating company/study area under rate-of-return
regulation. Also, during this period CenturyTel purchased a number of study
area jurisdictions from Verizon Communications. It purchased two Alabama
study areas and four Missouri study areas from Verizon Communications. However,
these new study areas will not be required to file the ARMIS 43-05 Report
(Service Quality Report) until next year. Refer to Memorandum Opinion and
