Alaska Commissioners Defer Discussion on State USF Plans

Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) members voted unanimously to grant a motion deferring discussion on Alaska USF matters during a virtual meeting Wednesday (see 2204130061). Despite voting in favor, Chairman Robert Pickett noted he had “some very strong reservations” about doing so: “I think there are some things that would be helpful, but they’ll just have to come out at a later date.” Also adopted was an order to establish a comment period of 30 days, 20 for replies, on RCA staff and Alaska Remote Carrier Coalition proposals.
