The FCC has announced offers of Alternative Connect America Cost Model version 2.5.1 (A-CAM II) support to 516 rate-of-return carriers that currently receive legacy high-cost support. Over a million locations in 46 states could receive 25/3 Mbps broadband service during the 10-year A-CAM II term. Carriers with A-CAM II offers must make their elections on a state-by-state basis by June 17, 2019. Carriers that accept these A-CAM II offers are reminded that they must then exit the NECA common line pool before support can be authorized. A detailed report of the A-CAM II offers is available at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-357276A1.xlsx.
