Dear Ms. Griffeth:

This letter follows up on your telephone call to me of yesterday in which you asked for this letter.

Ruby Ranch Internet Cooperative Association plans only to provide DSL data connectivity. We do not plan to provide voice connections. Thus we will not need 911 or other operator services, and we will not need directory services.

Very truly yours,

Carl Oppedahl

Board member
