The FCC Wireless and Wireline bureaus gave limited, interim relief to Alaska telco Adak Eagle Enterprises and its Windy City Cellular subsidiary Thursday. An order said Adak will receive $33,276 monthly and Windy City will receive $40,104 monthly. That funding will last no more than six months or until the commission reviews the companies’ petition for reconsideration (http://bit.ly/1tpZLfD). Adak and Windy City had petitioned the FCC for reconsideration of its denial of the companies’ request for a waiver of caps on USF payments (CD Aug 16/13 p5). Executives from Adak and Windy City urged FCC staff in a meeting last month to provide a “permanent solution” the funding issues they have sought to relieve through the waiver (CD July 29 p14).
