Important E-Rate Information

USF 2010-2011

Merit has been participating in the E-rate program since its inception.

Filing window opened: December 3, 2009
Filing window closes: 11:59 p.m. February 19, 2010*

Last day to submit Form 470s: January 14, 2010 (January 13th preferred)

* Due to adverse weather conditions in many areas of the country that may have prevented applicants from filing their FY2010 E-rate applications by the close of the window, USAC - in consultation with the FCC - has extended the close of the filing window to FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2010 AT 11:59 pm EST.

All FCC Forms 471 electronically filed or postmarked by that date and time will be considered IN WINDOW.
If you haven't worked with Merit before, give us a call today to talk about how our end-to-end services can benefit your organization. If you're already a Member, contact us with any questions you have about planning for your bandwidth, voice, and e-mail needs in 2010.
