I am just saying that RLECs always have a winning situation with CAF.
Price caps will benefit by helping to pay for OSP but it does not guarantee
that there is a rate of return.
Some times they are under compliance deadlines and a CAF award would reduce
their cost of compliance.

Verizon did most of the CAF stuff around here. I don't usually think of
them as a "rural" LEC. But I suppose with dozens of corporate entities
under their name they can be whatever type of LEC they feel like being
today.

Yes, more specifically non price cap LEC or RLEC.
Even better if they are a non ACAM RLEC.

So basically CAF bidder == LEC?

That is why the system only works for regulated rate of return carriers.
They don't have to make the normal business case pencil out because they
are guaranteed to cover their costs and get a return on the investment.

Maybe it's because the low hanging fruit has been taken and the rest
doesn't work?
I just finished a proposal for fiber to the home for two rural
communities here in Pennsylvania.
I knew it would cost money and grants would be needed, but what I didn't
realize until after I finished the presentation for the County
Commissioners was that the system would operate a a nearly $2,500/month
ongoing deficit once installed - and that was assuming a 100% take rate
of about 300 end-users.

Got a question from an elected official type about why bids have been
slow to come in for CAF-II, and also looking at RDOF and the satellite
"lock up”. I’m sure there are some opinions here, any you wish to
relate?
