Wireline Bureau Grants Petition to Extend ECF Service Delivery Deadline

The FCC Wireline Bureau extended the service and equipment delivery deadlines for Emergency Connectivity Fund recipients, in an order Friday in docket 21-93. The bureau extended the service delivery deadline by 14 months for requests from first- and second-window applicants with a funding commitment decision letter, or revised funding commitment decision letters that were dated on or after July 1, 2022. The bureau also extended by 180 days the service delivery date for equipment funding requests with either letter dated on or after Jan. 1. The service delivery deadline for applicants from the third filing window was extended from Dec. 31 to June 30, 2024. The Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition and Consortium for School Networking sought an extension in a petition filed in April (see 2304050075).
