Upcoming Dates
Webinar: Coming in 2023: Broadband Deployment Verification Reviews
March 22, 2023
Carriers participating in the Original Alternative Connect America Cost Model (ACAM), Revised ACAM, ACAM II and Connect America Fund II Auction (CAF II Auction) funds may be subject to verification reviews following the March 1, 2023, deadline for filing their 2022 broadband deployment data in the High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) portal.
These reviews, which confirm deployment to a random sample of locations certified in the HUBB, are intended to ensure that carriers receiving CAF payments are bringing high-speed Internet access that meets minimum performance standards to required location counts by relevant milestone deadlines in unserved and underserved communities eligible for support.
Please join USAC at 2 pm ET on Wed., March 22, 2023, for a webinar overview of the verification review process and a discussion of how carriers can prepare. Register here.
