Subject: FCC Announces Grants In The ACP And Teases Upcoming New
Online ACP Application Release
by Michael Dover (Los Angeles)
In November 2022, the FCC published a Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) seeking community partners to develop outreach programs to
promote awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) among
eligible households in historically underserved and unserved
communities as part of the ACP Outreach Grant Program. On Friday, March
10, 2023, the FCC announced approximately $66 million in grant funding
for two of the four sub-programs in the Outreach Program: the National
Competitive Outreach Program (NCOP) and the Tribal Competitive
Outreach Program (TCOP). The FCC's announcement accepts about 190 grant
applicants, amounting to $60 million for the NCOP, and 20 grant
applicants, amounting to about $6 million for the TCOP.
Once the Notice of Awards are issued, grant recipients will have 30
days to accept the awards. These funds will be used for digital
campaigns, door-to-door canvassing, operate phone banks, distribute
direct mail, host ACP application enrollment and outreach events in 50
states and territories. Grants in the other two sub-programs in the
Outreach Grant Program, the Your Home, Your Internet Outreach Grants
and the ACP Navigator Pilot Program Outreach Grants, will be announced
in the future.

Subject: Is Universal Service At Risk?
by Craig A. Gilley (Washington)
In Consumers' Research v. FCC, the Universal Service Fund (USF) is
under legal and constitutional attack in the Fifth Circuit. A decision
striking the USF would have wide-ranging impacts on the telecommuni-
cations industry and the various beneficiaries, such as consumers in
high-cost areas, low-income households, schools, libraries, and rural
healthcare providers. That outcome, while unlikely, is still possible.

Subject: No more Moore. It's the Law.
[Intel press release]
Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94
Moore, who set the course for the future of the semiconductor industry,
devoted his later years to philanthropy.
Santa Clara - Intel and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
announced today that company co-founder Gordon Moore has passed
away at the age of 94.
....
In addition to Moore's seminal role in founding two of the world's
pioneering technology companies, he famously forecast in 1965 that
the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every
year - a prediction that came to be known as Moore's Law.
