ACA Connects' FCC Ex Parte re Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band w/ Office of the Chairman, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and International Bureau: j.mp/2O1OrI8

Attn: America’s Communications Association Members-check your email for a friendly reminder. You have 3 weeks from today to post your carriage election contact info in COALS!

.FCC, you gave cable ops the flexibility to use transition funds to replace #CBand operations w/fiber services. #Fiber deployment, especially for #5G, is still important, right? @AjitPaiFCC, please don’t let programmers and satellite operators convince you otherwise. #YES2Fiber!

Thank you FCC Cmmsr Geoffrey Starks for recognizing the Wireless Telecom Bureau's decision on C-band related lump-sum reimbursements has "dramatically limit[ed] the ability of small cable companies to replace their satellite connections with fiber ..." j.mp/3kopTbl

FCC Geoffrey Starks "... and that could have helped with rural broadband expansion." Geoffrey Starks you get it. The C-band transition was intended as an opportunity for incumbents to take innovative steps and in turn benefit their customers in rural America and elsewhere: j.mp/3a4Vud7

With the Court denying America’s Communications Association' request for a stay of today's deadline for operators to elect the lump sum payment, all America’s Communications Association members who were planning to opt for the lump sum, but waiting for the court to decide, should file RIGHT AWAY and no later than 11:59pm EDT.

I'm pleased to see Treasury Department continue to press forward with efforts to close the digital divide. Let's keep it up! America’s Communications Association

I knew we were onto something…

So what’s the magic number? ACAC has shown that a $7.5K threshold is justified and will bring fiber to vast majority of unserved locations with $ to spare for other priorities. acaconnects.org/bead-program-f…
