Gerry Roth Vice President GTE Technology Programs This document and the information contained herein is intended, and for all purposes shall be deemed, a Year 2000 statement and a Year 2000 readiness disclosure as those terms are defined under United States federal law

  2. Executive Summary • United States Public Network Status • U.S. Telephone Service providers are on track to complete Year 2000 remediation programs • Approximately 90% of the local, and 99% of the long distance switches in the U.S. Public Switched Network are deployed as of March 1999 • Mid and small sized local companies trail the larger companies, but appear to be on track for 3rd and 4th quarter 1999 completion • Major carriers predict the Y2K completion and roll-out of all essential systems and products by June 1999 • NRIC is estimating 98% by June to allow some margin of error • No company is indicating technical difficulty with completion • Range of responses is very narrowly distributed around the average • International Risk Assessment • From all sources, the perceived risk of compliance has increased since our last report • Approximately 75 % of countries sampled have increased risk • 191 countries assessed, vs. 84 in December

  18. Review of Year 2000 Recommendationsfrom 14 January 1998 Report • Increase Wireless participation from CTIA and FCC data collection • Covered in the FCC report, NRIC will not use in Network assessment • Map Key Government Installations to coverage areas (in process) • Using NCS inquiry to USG • NARUC offices to obtain small company status • Risk methodology added to plan completeness • Draft definition of “Done” - to be included in round 3 • Individual companies need to indicate results • Assess impact with other sectors • Tri-industry group meetings have begun • Electric - Telecommunications - Oil & Gas • NRIC working with International Y2K Telecom User Alliance, ITU, FCC, and State Department on international status assessments
