FCC Extends Emergency Connectivity Fund Service Delivery Date to June 30, 2023

The Federal Communications Commission granted, in part, a waiver requested by a group of Emergency Connectivity Fund Program stakeholders led by the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition extending the service delivery date to June 30, 2023 for all applicants who applied for Emergency Connectivity Fund support for equipment, other non-recurring services, and recurring services during the first and second application filing windows. The FCC seeks to alleviate administrative burdens, streamline the process for Emergency Connectivity Fund Program participants, and ensure applicants are treated fairly and equitably regardless of when their applications are processed and funding commitment decision letters are issued.
