This week, representatives from WTA met with staff from the offices of FCC Commissioners O’Reilly, Rosenworcel, Clyburn, and Carr. In all four meetings, WTA expressed support for review and increase of the overall High Cost program budget, for additional USF support for rural telephone companies on both the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (ACAM) path and the legacy Rate- of-Return path, and for relief from the impact of the budget control mechanisms in Sections 54.901(f) and 54.1310(d) of the Rules.
