Cuba City and Cal-Ore Default Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Awards

Cuba City Telephone Exchange Co. and Cal-Ore Communications notified the Federal Communications Commission of their decisions to withdraw from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) support program. Cuba City and Cal-Ore’s letters constitute notification to the FCC that these carriers are defaulting on their obligations to meet their service milestones. At the FCC’s direction, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) suspended future support payments for these support recipients, and directed USAC to recover RDOF support from Cuba City and Cal-Ore which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of LICT Corporation. Cuba City was authorized in December 2021 to receive a total of $540,329 in support over a 10-year term to offer voice and broadband service to 302 locations in Wisconsin. Cal-Ore was authorized in February 2022 to receive a total of $1,063,513.10 in support over a 10-year term to offer voice and broadband service to 235 locations in California.
