$600 Million Roll-over for FY 2008
The FCC announced last week that it will carry forward $600 million in previously unused funds from earlier years into FY 2008 (see DA 08-1470). This will raise the nominal funding cap for FY 2008 from $2.25 billion to $2.85 billion. This is slightly less than the $650 million that the FCC rolled over into FY 2007 last year.
