The FCC's latest appeal decision is not ground-breaking, but I found two things interesting.
First, the FCC overturned USAC's denial based on cost-effectiveness because "the services ... were not two to three times the estimated commercial market price." It is heartening to see a cost-effectiveness review held to the only cost-effectiveness guideline the FCC has given us (from the Ysleta Order). It gives me hope that the USAC cost-effectiveness witch hunts will end.
Second, the FCC looked at "lowest corresponding price" (LCP)! I don't recall ever seeing that in an appeal decision. Maybe the new emphasis on LCP is more than just lip service. I'll be convinced when a service provider actually gets punished for not giving the LCP.
