WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU RELEASES RESULTS FOR ADOPTED CONNECT 
AMERICA COST MODEL 
WC Docket No. 10-90
On April 22, 2014, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) completed work on the 
Connect America Cost Model (CAM), by finalizing decisions regarding the engineering assumptions 
contained in the model and adopting inputs necessary for the model to calculate the cost of serving 
census blocks in price cap carrier areas.1 Today, the Bureau releases results for the adopted model 
(CAM v4.1.1), as well as a list of census blocks that would be eligible for the offer of model-based 
support, subject to the outcome of the Phase II challenge process. 
The Bureau notes that final figures may change, depending on the upcoming challenge 
process and any adjustments that may be made to the budget stemming from updated projections 
regarding Connect America Fund-Intercarrier Compensation support.  The results for the adopted 
model are available at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/connect-america-cost-model-illustrative-
results.  The CAM is available at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/caf-phase-ii-models or 
https://cacm.usac.org/.  In order to access the model, parties must execute the relevant 
acknowledgement of confidentiality, licensing, and nondisclosure documents released as 
attachments to a Third Supplemental Protective Order.2  
For additional information on this proceeding, contact Katie King (Katie.King@fcc.gov) of 
the Wireline Competition Bureau, Telecommunications Access Policy Division, (202) 418-7400.
