Please describe significant project accomplishments completed during this quarter (600 words or less). The construction associated with the WV BTOP grant is 100% complete. We have drawn down a total of $124,374,998.75 for the grant execution. Including the Match portion this brings our total to $157,874,998.75 We completed 675.2 fiber miles to 644 physical locations of which 85.2 miles were completed in the West Virginia University (WVU) to National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). Noteworthy is the $1M partnership funds that WVU pledged to this continuing effort. All of the 324 New Facility Build Out (FBO) are complete. All WV K12 schools have fiber available. Some examples of dramatic improvements resultant from this construction include: Southside K-8 (new speed/cost – 100 Mbps@$1505 mo: $15/Mbps); Woodrow Wilson (new speed/cost – 500 Mbps @$2500 mo:$5/ Mbps); New River Health 500 Mpbs@$200 mo: $20 Mbps) and NRAO 10 Gbps@ $5000 mo: $0.50 Mbps). Each of these examples plus many more reflect greater service at significant unit reduction in cost. Fiber and or New routers have been provided to 1,127 Community Anchor Institute (CAI) locations including: Schools – 523; Libraries – 174; Telemedicine – 90; Public Safety – 129; Higher Ed – 26; Courthouses – 54; and others (state agencies municipalities, planning & development – 131. The BTOP grant facilitated construction of 12 new towers and 5 replacement towers. Additionally equipment was upgraded on 105 towers and in 13 buildings. This should facilitated a jump start of WV’s implementation of FirstNet. Cost saving efforts enabled the WV BTOP grant to close with an approximate residual of $1,948,297.25 which will be available to the Federal Government for other usage. 2. Please provide the percent complete for the following key milestones in your project. Write “0” in the Percent Complete column and "N/ A" in the Narrative column if your project does not include this activity. If you provided additional milestones in your baseline plan, please insert them at the bottom of the table. Unless otherwise indicated in the instructions, figures should be reported cumulatively from award inception to the end of the most recent reporting quarter. Please provide a narrative description if the percent complete is different from the target provided in your baseline plan (300 words or less).

To the extent not covered above, please describe any challenges or issues faced during this past quarter in achieving planned progress against the project milestones listed above. In particular, please identify any areas or issues where technical assistance from the BTOP program may be useful (600 words or less). We continue to work with NTIA for resolve as to methodology for potential utilization of any remaining BTOP funds. The Chief Technology Officer for WV is in direct contact with the Program Management Office to work through this process. The NTIA Program Manager and his team continue to work diligently with the GIT on this initiative. December was a month of holidays which caused minimal delays in grant efforts. We worked around this by planning ahead, which resulted in minimal adverse slow down. Due to a large volume and detail involved processing of Frontier invoices remains slow. Although the invoices for construction were submitted there remains a delay in payment. This should be rectified during the administrative close-out. We continue the Ernst & Young audit, which should be complete first quarter 2014. 4. Please report the following information regarding network build progress.
