Re: Move to a rural area; get fiber!
said by rradina  :In all of that, where does it say that these services cannot be provided by a fiber optic network? A carrier that receives federal universal service support shall use
that support only for the provision, maintenance, and upgrading of
facilities and services for which the support is intended. It would be upto the FCC to enforce that rule. There is also this self certifying thing that you only use USF money on supported services. »edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2007/···.809.htm
Sec. 54.202 Additional requirements for Commission designation of
eligible telecommunications carriers.
* * * * *
(e) All eligible telecommunications carriers shall retain all
records required to demonstrate to auditors that the support received
was consistent with the universal service high-cost program rules. These
records should include the following: data supporting line count
filings; historical customer records; fixed asset property accounting
records; general ledgers; invoice copies for the purchase and
maintenance of equipment; maintenance contracts for the upgrade or
equipment; and any other relevant documentation. This documentation must
be maintained for at least five years from the receipt of funding. |
