NTIA SAYS IT'S WORKING HARD ON STIMULUS APPLICATION E-SYSTEMS

摘要

The NTIA is "working hard to make the electronic application process go as smoothly as possible" in the broadband-stimulus program, a spokesman said. "We have taken a number of steps in recent days, including adding more servers, proactively notifying applicants of tips that can make the online application process more efficient for them and increasing our help desk hours." The spokesman also clarified that the NTIA isn't prohibiting the filing of files larger than 10 megabytes as some sources reported. nn" The file size limitation for each upload is still 16 megabytes, which is a large amount of data," the spokesman said. "There was an inadvertent written reference to a smaller limitation, but the erroneous reference has been removed. If an applicant has a file larger than 16 megabytes (highly unlikely), the applicant can split the file into 16 megabyte components and submit them." The spokesman also encouraged applicants to send questions by e-mail rather than leaving voicemail.
