FCC Rolls Over $600 Million From Prior Years Into FY 2008
Message Posted June 25, 2008

The FCC announced this week that $600 million in unused E-rate funds from prior years will be added to the Year 11 (FY 2008) E-rate funding cap, raising it from $2.25 billion to $2.85 billion. This is great news for Year 11 priority 2 applicants because with only the $2.25 billion cap, funding likely would not have reached below the 90% discount level. With the increase in funding, we expect that requests in the mid-to-low 80% discount range can be funded.

The unused funds are the result of committed dollars from previous years that are unspent due to reduction in costs, decisions not to proceed with a project, missed filing deadlines, or overestimation of original requests.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope you're enjoying your summer!
