The first hearing was held on Friday, January 29, 1999, at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The second public hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 23, 1999, from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., in the Gila River Indian Community, at the Sprung facility, 5550 West Wild Horse Path, Chandler, Arizona. Chandler is located approximately 20 miles southeast of central Phoenix, Arizona. This hearing will continue to examine the ongoing concern that Indians on reservations, in comparison to other Americans, have less access even to basic telephone service. The hearing will provide an opportunity for Indian tribal and intertribal leaders, federal and state officials, telecommunications services providers, and technology experts to present testimony addressing the  X 2steps necessary to provide all Indians on reservations with the opportunity to obtain telephone  X!2service of sound quality at affordable rates. At the hearing, the FCC will continue to study the reasons for the lack of telephone service and will examine what solutions have been undertaken by tribes and service providers to address these issues. The Commission also intends to gather evidence on measures that tribes, service providers, the FCC, and states can take in the future to improve access to affordable telephone service on Indian reservations. X|&0*0*0*D%3g!XXԌ The Commission requests that witnesses address issues   such as the respective roles of  X2tribal, federal, and state authorities in ensuring the availability of affordable telephone and  X2other telecommunications services on reservations and in providing ongoing and dependable financial support for those services. Furthermore, the hearing will examine whether alternative technologies can deliver quality communications services to tribal customers. In particular, the Commission seeks recommendations for solutions which will improve  X_2access to telephone service on reservations. Specific issues and principal matters that the hearing will explore include:  X 2    I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a)*-*+x` ` * Mthe costs of delivering services to remote areas having very low population densities;  X 2 `  *X Mthe impact of the size and extent of local calling areas on affordability of service;  X 2*X Mthe quality of telephone service on reservations;  X 2* Mthe availability of advanced services, including Internet access for  Meducational uses, healthrelated information, and other basic needs;  Xy2*X Mthe complexities of governmental jurisdiction and sovereignty issues;  Xb2*X Mthe strategies applied by tribal reservations to address these issues; and  XK2*X Mthe effects on telephone service of low income and high unemployment levels on reservations.
