To all CTF Customers
Participating with Sprint:
Hopefully you are aware that the
California Public Utilities Commission has been conducting an extensive
evaluation of the California Teleconnect Fund. Commissioner Peterson
recently posted the Proposed Decision dated April 20th, which
outlines changes to the fund.
Some key changes proposed
are:
- The
elimination of wireless data services as an eligible service (Appendix
C lists the start date of this decision as FY15-16 – this July)
- The
phase down of voice services as an eligible service (noted in
Appendix C)
- Changes
to the eligibility criteria for Community Based Organizations
- Changes to the eligibility criteria for private non-profit schools
The PUC Commissioners are set to
vote on this decision as early as May 21st. The comment window
is open to the public and parties that wish to have their voice heard before
the vote should do so by May 10th. Sprint is drafting comments but we
