WTA Discusses E-ACAM Location Support Amounts with FCC

On November 18, WTA and USTelecom met with staff from the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau to discuss the location-level E-ACAM support amounts for various types of served and unserved locations. The associations indicated that the primary E-ACAM implementation matter of concern at this time is the support status of locations which were subject to broadband grant commitments, primarily through the ReConnect Program, prior to the August 30, 2023 E-ACAM offer date, but where construction had not been able to be commenced and completed by the offer date due to circumstances beyond the control of the E-ACAM electee.
