The Federal Communications Commission’s Wireless Competition Bureau (Bureau) has adopted the eligible services list for the E-Rate program for funding year 2023. With one exception, the list remains the same as funding year 2022. The Bureau clarified that fixed wireless service and fixed wireless routers are eligible for Category One support. The Bureau also waived its requirement that the list be released at least 60 days before the opening of the filing window, thereby authorizing the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to open the FCC Form 471 application filing window within 60 days of the release date of the Bureau’s Order.
