Comments Due March 14 on Vistabeam/Commnet CAF II Deal

The FCC Wireline Bureau wants comments by March 14, replies by March 21, on Commnet's request to transfer its Connect America Fund Phase II support for its Wyoming census blocks to Vistabeam, said a public notice Monday in docket 22-52. The companies said Vistabeam has "expended CAF support funds in connection with deployment in its CAF-supported area, and expects to meet the 40 percent buildout milestone well ahead of the three-year milestone deadline." If approved, Vistabeam would be assigned part of Commnet's "accumulated CAF II support," receipts of "all future CAF II support," and all of Commnet's CAF II obligations.
