摘要

A proposed order at the FCC would give price-cap carriers $300 million for broadband ninstallations in unserved areas in the first year of universal service and intercarrier ncompensation overhaul, telecom executives said. The money would come on top of the nlegacy universal-service support that the companies get, they said. Recipients would have to nmeet deployment benchmarks in two years, the executives said.
