FCC Reminds Rip and Replace Recipients of Oct. 13 Filing Deadline

The FCC Wireline Bureau reminded recipients of rip and replace funding they have until Oct. 13 to file initial status updates. The final rule was effective Friday, said that day's Federal Register notice. “Updates must inform the Commission about the work of the Recipient to permanently remove, replace, and dispose of the covered communications equipment or services, which for the purposes of the Reimbursement Program means all communications equipment or services produced or provided by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation and obtained on or before June 30, 2020,” the notice said.
