On April 1, 2024, NRECA filed reply comments with the FCC on a proposal to use the Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric underlying the National Broadband Map to monitor deployment obligations for providers receiving support from federal High-Cost Support Mechanisms, such as RDOF. While NRECA supports this objective in concept but expressed fundamental concerns about the Fabric's accuracy and the ability of providers to correct Fabric inaccuracies. NRECA is concerned that at this juncture the Bureau's proposal would create administrative and financial burdens on RDOF participants, especially smaller providers.
