NARUC Urges FCC to Act on Rejected RDOF Support

NARUC raised concerns about Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I support in areas covered by rejected applicant, in separate meetings with aides to all four FCC commissioners. "Any equitable solution would assure that funds awarded for service in specific states remain available to support service in those same states," the group said, per an ex parte filing posted Tuesday in docket 19-126. It encouraged the FCC to refer the issue to the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service for a recommendation. The group approved a resolution on the matter earlier this month (see 2302150032).
