Broadband Services on January 18, 2001. At that time the Commission approved it’s Resolution 01-01
specifying those conditions the District must meet prior to receiving a Certificate of Compliance to provide
Broadband Services within the District’s service area. One of these conditions was that the District prepare
a Master Services Element for the provision of Broadband Telecommunications Services.

Telecommunications Services, attached, for submission to Nevada County LAFCo. This MSE, like those

The MSE has as its basis the Broadband Proforma approved by the Board in late November of this year.
