The survey also indicated that consumer demand is strong for wireless service in rural areas. Of the people who do not have wireless service, 50 percent plan to purchase a wireless phone in the next six months, and they ranked safety as their top reason, and convenience as their next reason. Western Wireless was the first wireless company to bring advanced digital technology and IXRTT data services to rural areas. The chalserlenge to bringing urban-styl- e vice to rural America is that a single cell site serves 1,000 potential customers in rural America, whereas the same cell site investment would serve 50,000 in an urban area. Despite not providing service to any top 100 markets, which have lower costs to build and maintain service, Western Wireless is competing with the largest wireless companies in America and the smallest local telephone companies by providing rural consumers competitive pricing and comprehensive coverage. The Federal Communications Commission makes universal service support available to wireless and wireline communications companies to provide telephone service in sparsely-populate- d areas. Western Wireless is both a contributor to and a recipient of that fund, and uses universal service funds to provide and enhance its service in rural A study conducted by Western Wats, an independent research organization in Provo, found that people living in rural areas are more likely , to use wireless phones than ever before. In addition. Western Wireless, the largest independent rural wireless service provider in the United States and owner of Cellular One brand, has observed that its customers are using about three times more minutes per month than they did just four years ago. The survey, which was conducted in counties with population densities averaging eight people per square mile, indicated that respondents have not increased the number of phone lines in their home over the past two years, but there was a 34 percent increase in the number of wireless phones during that same period. Wireless technology has become an essential form of communications across America, and consumer demand continues to be strong. We are seeing this especially in rural areas where landline telephone companies are offering significantly smaller local calling areas and wireless rate plans have become more affordable and competitive, said Mikal Thomsen, president of Wireless Western Corporation. More and more, Western Wireless is seeing itself competing directly with local telephone companies, as consumers are utilizing wireless service for a significant amount of their telephone calls, and in many cases all of their telecommunications needs. The survey found that of the rural consumers who had wireless ser- regions. The hundreds of millions of dollars Western Wireless has invested, over and above any monies received from the universal service fund, enable wireless communications to continue to advance in rural vice: America.
