WTA Meets with Chairman Pai’s Office to Discuss Performance Testing

On Sept. 5, representatives from WTA and its member companies met with staff from FCC Chairman Pai’s office to discuss the mandated speed and latency performance testing for USF recipients.  WTA stated that it understands the need for accountability, but “the problem with the testing framework adopted in the Order is that it was not designed with RLECs in mind, and imposes unnecessary burdens, practical difficulties and excessive costs upon them that will impair their ability to deploy and upgrade their broadband services.”
