The old forms still require certification of having an approved tech plan
covering the entire first year that services are being requested for P1
services. If you don't have an approved tech plan you cannot apply on-line
using the old (current) forms without perjuring yourself.

What we were told up in Lake County is that you can still file with the old
forms that are available online now. At some point possibly around early
December, USAC will switch to the new ones and you'll need to use the new
forms after that switch. 470's filed with the old form before the switch
will still be valid.
The new forms are awaiting approval by the OMB and won't happen until after
the upcoming election.

The form 470 posting window for funding year 2010 opened in July. During
the recent training session held in Minneapolis,
a new 470 is going to be released. You should go to the USAC website and
review what the new USAC rules are for the upcoming

And how fast did you call Dish Network?
I suppose you are out in the country and cable is not an option.

I pay a fixed fee for Internet from the local cable company and I have
an antenna.
I pay for Netflix and I love Hulu.
That has been good enough for me - I am at the point in my life where
between 4pm Friday afternoon leaving work and 8am this morning returning I
watched about 22 minutes of "TV"
When children come I know that will change, and I'll watch a movie this
week, some news, and another episode of something, but for now, I get by
just fine. Netflix/Hulu is like the world's largest DVR and cost $9/month.
I have thought about Hulu Plus but not justified it yet...
