PSC NUSF-92 PROGRAM SUPPORTS
CELL TOWER CONSTRUCTION

Lincoln, October 4, 2024- The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) has approved nearly $5.5 million in funding
(NUSF-92.64) for the construction of 10 cellular towers through
the Nebraska Universal Service Fund (NUSF) Dedicated Wireless
Fund Program.

"Utilizing the Nebraska Universal Service Fund for the support
and buildout of cell towers has proven to be yet another avenue
the Commission employs to help improve communication to
unserved and underserved areas," said Commission Chair Dan
Watermeier.

UScellular will receive $5,493,500 in grant funding support to
build 10 tower sites near the communities of Bancroft, Bradshaw,
Clearwater, Garland, Glenvil, Orleans, Page, Plymouth, Rising City
and Sterling. UScellular has committed to completing construction
of the towers within 24 months of approval of the funding.

The PSC allocated just over seven million dollars in Wireless Fund
Program Support for the 2024 funding year. The remaining dedicated
support allocated but not awarded will be rolled into the next
wireless fund grant cycle. ###
