The join does not prove that Mississippi’s unserved-location count, rural density, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,203,561,563. Those are other series. This packet has no project list. Correlation is not causation. Packet facts stop at $1,203,561,563, 1 award, MS, and 11.035.

11.035 is not High Cost USF in Mississippi

Universal Service Fund High Cost (CFDA 32.002) is a different catalog. Mixing USF into $1,203,561,563 would invent a broader telecom total than this cell contains. Facts available: Mississippi, CFDA 11.035, $1,203,561,563, 1 award. FCC map locations and ISP subawards are not in the facts.

With one award, the implied mean equals $1,203,561,563. Downstream subawards to ISPs are not additional prime awards in this extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of passing addresses.
