The FCC has adopted a Report and Order extending Puerto Rico Fund and Connect USVI Fund mobile support , which was set to end by June 2023, for up to two years given the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Fiona that demonstrated the continued need for support to harden and expand critical communications infrastructure.  In the first year, providers will receive 50% of their current monthly support level and, in the second year, providers will receive 25% of their current monthly support level.  The phase-down frozen support for fixed voice and broadband providers will be extended until December 31, 2025.
