NTCA Proposes Relief for CAF BLS Recipients to Assist with Deployment Obligations

(December 10) In a letter to the FCC, NTCA offered suggestions to address the ongoing reconciliation of "all done" indications in the HUBB portal and locations shown on the National Broadband Map for certain recipients of Connect America Fund Broadband Loop Support (CAF BLS).
