The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau has released two new sets of illustrative results for the Alternative Connect America Cost Model version 2.1 (A-CAM v2.1). Both sets of illustrative results – Report 5.1 and Report 5.2 – utilize input values reflecting a 9.75 percent “cost of money.” The results in Report 5.1 are based on a per-location funding cap of $160.79, while the results in Report 5.2 are based on a per-location funding cap of $200. Report 5.2 also does not provide support to incumbent local exchange carriers for census blocks they already serve with broadband using either an FTTP network or cable modem technology.
