Status Memo: Based on the information reviewed, it was determined that this FRN is providing overlapping, redundant or duplicate services. Overlapping, redundant and duplicate services are defined as services that deliver the same functionality to the same population in the same location during the same period of time. When asked to clarify the potential duplication of service, you stated: ?In response to your question regarding duplicative internet services: Each of the circuits provide internet access that are aggregated together to provide capacity for all of our customers. Network hardware is used to distribute the load between all service providers. We are using different service providers so that there will be a limited level of service at a reduced capacity in the event any service provider fails. None of these are duplicative as each of the circuits are used consistently.? Per Program procedures, USAC cannot fund overlapping, redundant or duplicate services. Since you selected multiple providers to provide the same internet connectivity to the same location during the same period of time when a single service provider was capable of providing all internet connectivity, this FRN must be denied.
