Implementation date: Pursuant to 47 CFR § 51.333(b)(2), the implementation date will be on or after August 11, 2025. Planned network change(s) will occur at the following locations in Nebraska: Aurora exchange (694); Doniphan exchange (845); Giltner exchange (849); Hampton exchange (725); Hordville exchange (757); Marquette exchange (854); Phillips exchange (886); Stockham exchange (737); and Trumbull exchange (743).

Description of planned network change(s): Hamilton Telephone Company intends to retire a number of copper facilities in Aurora exchange (694); Doniphan exchange (845); Giltner exchange (849); Hampton exchange (725); Hordville exchange (757); Marquette exchange (854); Phillips exchange (886); Stockham exchange (737); and Trumbull exchange (743) and to continue providing services over a fiber network infrastructure. Hamilton Telephone Company has deployed its fiber-to-the-home network in the areas prior to retiring the copper facilities in these areas. The fiber-to-the-home network allows subscribers to purchase internet service with speeds of up to 1×1 Gbps and voice service. End-user customers may retain their existing service(s) so long as they complete any steps necessary to migrate to the new fiber facilities.

Description of reasonably foreseeable impact(s) of planned network change(s): Following completion of the planned network change, Hamilton Telephone Company no longer will offer services over copper facilities in these areas and will cease maintaining the copper facilities. It will provide all voice and broadband services via its fiber-to-the home network that has replaced the copper facilities, and subscribers may continue to purchase voice and/or broadband service plans using the fiber-to-the-home network. To effectuate the transition, Hamilton Telephone Company may require customers and interconnecting entities to migrate services off of copper facilities prior to the copper retirement implementation date
