FCC Rejects 2 HUBB Filing Deadline Waiver Requests

The FCC Wireline Bureau rejected two petitions seeking waivers of the March 1, 2019, deadline to upload and certify geocoded location information data with Universal Service Administrative Co. through the high-cost universal broadband portal (HUBB). Staff acted on a petition by ComSouth and Bloomingdale Telephone and a petition by State Telephone. “Petitioners have not demonstrated that there is good cause to waive the applicable sections of the Commission’s rules and, accordingly, deny the requested relief,” said a Wednesday order in docket 10-90: “It is the responsibility" of all eligible telecom carriers" to familiarize themselves with any applicable rules and ensure that its filings are timely received, regardless of the time and method.”
