Shortly before the holidays, the FCC indicated it would conduct a webinar on the upcoming CAF (Connect America Fund)-II auction – NRECA has just sent us the web-ex and dial-in information for the webinar, which will be held tomorrow. The CAF Phase II Auction represents a unique and long-awaited opportunity to close the digital divide and connect unserved areas with broadband capable networks.  To ensure the successful and sustainable achievement of universal service in these areas, NRECA has urged the Commission to take additional measures to encourage participation from providers of all sizes, impose some additional reasonable screening measures to ensure that only qualified bidders participate, and adopt rules to facilitate a fair and equitable auction.  Please call Brian O’Hara at NRECA if you have questions or need additional information.

Folks should join the WebEx by clicking on the “join the meeting” link below to see the webinar and view the slides. To hear the audio, participants should separately call in on the phone bridge.  The FCC has found that a separate phone bridge works better than using the WebEx audio.
