style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Lets all weigh into the
issue about opening up the CASF funds to wireless service providers who are not
registered with CPUC as telephone service providers. To do this I
encourage you to submit comment(s) to the CPUC request-for-comment posting (<a
href="http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/efile/PD/102215.pdf">http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/efile/PD/102215.pdf</a>),
that endorses the CASF policy change that removes CPCN and WIR
requirement. This means any broadband service provider could apply.
One the telecoms have weighed in at this point and they think it is a bad idea
for this pot of money to be opened up to anyone not registered as a telephone
service provider.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
