E-rate Changes - Fact vs. Fiction - Time Will Tell

Thursday, 25 March 2010 10:01 | Written by Administrator | PDF | Print | E-mail
Recently the FCC released their new National Broadband Plan (See: http://download.broadband.gov/plan/national-broadband-plan.pdf ). Even before the Plan’s release, we’ve been hearing considerable speculation about potential changes in how the E-rate program will be implemented in the future.

To prevent any unnecessary worries, it seems wise to remind ourselves that the new National Broadband Plan is just a plan.  It is not adopted.  Several administrative and legislative steps are required before it can be adopted.

One major future step is the release of NPRM (National Proposal for Rule Making).  In this process, the public has an opportunity to comment on the draft plan prior to its adoption.

The Latest on E-rate

Tuesday, 09 February 2010 13:44 | Written by Micheline LeBlanc | PDF | Print | E-mail

erateThis article is to inform you that the 2010/2011 Form 471 filing deadline has been extended to Friday, February 19, 2010 at 8:59 PST (due to adverse weather conditions across the nation.)

HOWEVER, if possible, please complete your forms this week.

Historically, the USAC online filing system has been plagued with technical issues in the days leading up to the Form 471 deadline (even when it has been extended), so filing now will ensure a smooth submission.

Remember, E-rate applicants that are first to file, tend to be the first to get funded. Waiting another week may delay your funding.

We all know what waiting until the last minute can mean to an E-Rate application.

Keep up the important work, and take advantage of the additional time by:

  1. Double checking information for any errors. (i.e., contract dates--existing and new, costs, all sites on Block 4 that are needed, etc.).
  2. Preparing Item 21 Attachments.

Please see the last announcement below for some good guidance and the USAC web site for more details: http://www.usac.org/sl/
