Beleaguered Alaskan telco Adak Eagle Enterprises and its subsidiary, Windy City Cellular, were granted “limited additional interim support” by the FCC Wireline and Wireless bureaus Friday. “Specifically, the Bureaus authorize fixed support in the amount of $33,276 for AEE and $40,104 for WCC monthly, for a period of two months,” which will cover December and January, the order said (http://fcc.us/1m3CIkQ). The relief is being granted while the bureaus and the full commission review the companies’ petition for reconsideration and application for review, the order said. The companies will be forced into bankruptcy if their request for waiver of the per-line monthly caps on high-cost universal service support aren’t granted, they have said (CD Dec 20 p12).
