California Teleconnect Fund Decision

On April 21, 2016, the California Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a final decision implementing changes in two areas: (1) what they are calling the "CTF E-rate Cap" and, (2) an exemption to the reduced voice service support.  The "CTF E-rate cap" limits the California Teleconnect Fund (CTF) discount for an applicant to no greater than the E-rate discount.  CTF directs carriers to apply an E-rate cap effective on the first billing cycle that begins on or after November 1, 2016.
