Eligible Price Cap Carriers Getting 7th Year of CAF Phase II Support

All eligible price cap carriers currently getting Connect America Fund Phase II support based on the Connect America cost model have opted for an additional seventh year of such support, as was allowed in February's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund order (see 2002070031), the FCC Wireline Bureau said in a public notice Monday. It said the Universal Service Administrative Co. now must disburse USF amounts to carriers starting in January.
