The FCC Wireline Bureau released a list of census tracts in high-cost price cap areas that may be suitable for IP transition experiments, it said in a public notice Thursday (http://bit.ly/1fXGFHl). The agency last week voted to accept proposals for experiments (CD Jan 31 p1). “Proposals in price cap territories will be entertained at the census tract level, with [Connect America] funding only provided for locations in eligible census blocks within that census tract,” the notice said. Eligible locations include only those in census blocks that are unserved by any provider of 3 Mbps/768 kbps, and those where the average cost per location equals or exceeds the likely monthly funding threshold per location, it said.
