Legacy CAF-BLS companies that may not have adequate locations in the HUBB for a random sampling before broadband performance pre-testing begins in January 2022 must contact USAC by Monday, November 8, 2021. All Legacy CAF-BLS companies, along with A-CAM II, Alaska Plan and CAF Phase II Auction carriers, must begin pre-testing in first quarter 2022 as part of the FCC’s performance measures testing framework. Companies will use a USAC-generated random sample of broadband locations deployed (and reported in the HUBB) that have active subscribers.
However, USAC has identified three scenarios where CAF-BLS companies may not have any locations or enough locations reported in the HUBB for the random sampling:
USAC has asked any Legacy CAF-BLS companies that fall under scenarios 1 and 2 to contact them at HCproduct@USAC.org by November 8. USAC is meeting with the FCC to discuss scenario 3 and is planning to send an updated email with language that is directly applicable to this situation. USAC is likely to ask companies under scenario 3 to tell them how many locations and at what speeds were deployed pre-2016 to be added to those that they did upload into HUBB. Regardless, USAC will follow up with CAF-BLS companies under each of the three scenarios on how to obtain random location samples for speed and latency pre-testing in 2022.
