NCTA Backs USTelecom LOC Proposals for RDOF, Opposes Extended CAF Support

NCTA backs USTelecom recommendations to reduce proposed letter of credit burdens for participants in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, posted Friday in docket 19-126. NCTA opposes USTelecom's request the FCC provide continued noncompetitively bid Connect America Fund support to price cap carriers. "As the Commission correctly states in the draft order, the support was always intended to be limited in duration," the telco group said. USTelecom didn't comment beyond its request.
