E-Rate, not Affordable Connectivity

Affordable Connectivity Program (CFDA 32.008) is a household-subsidy catalog, not this schools-and-libraries listing. Mixing 32.004 and 32.008 in Alaska would invent a combined universal-service book. Mixing those series into $139,986,819.80 would invent a broader total than this cell contains.
