Cable Would Limit Right of First Refusal Under USF

摘要

Cable companies offered their own version of the disputed right-of-first-refusal proposal in nproposed changes to universal service and intercarrier compensation. The NCTA and the nAmerican Cable Association suggested that no more than $600 million a year be subject to nfirst refusal rights. “Second, the Commission should award a ROFR only in areas that fall nbelow the 35 percent coverage threshold proposed in the ABC Plan,” the groups said, referring nto the incumbent-backed proposal.
