FCC Seeks Comment by Oct. 21 on TDS CAF A-CAM Waiver

The FCC Wireline Bureau sought comment Tuesday on TDS Telecom seeking waivers to demonstrate compliance with its alternative Connect America cost model buildout obligations. The telco seeks waiver of the first interim deployment milestone service obligations in California until July 1. The provider also seeks waiver “to allow it to count towards its buildout milestones locations to which TDS Telecom alleges it previously deployed broadband but failed to report to the Universal Service Administrative Company through the High Cost Universal Broadband portal,” the bureau said. Comments are due Oct. 21, replies Nov. 5, in docket 14-58.
