DR1: This funding request is denied as a result of a Cost Effectiveness Review, which has determined that your request for Internal Connections has not been justified as being cost effective as required by FCC Rules. Independent pricing of the VBRICK components was conducted to determine if the equipment costs were reasonably priced or excessive. Based on the price comparison conducted between applicant supplied equipment prices requested and prices available from commercial vendors, the purchase cost for the VBrick equipment is more than two times greater than the prices available from commercial vendors. It is clear that the prices requested for funding of the equipment in FRN 2216273 are not cost effective.
