Universal Service Fund - High Cost in New Mexico

Twenty-two High Cost awards under a New Mexico tag

The headline number is $433,551,971.38. It sits on Universal Service Fund - High Cost crossed with New Mexico place of performance. Award count is 22. USAspending.gov is the source. The page is a JOIN, not a carrier, tower, or household census and not an outlay conversion.

Mean obligation is about $19,706,907.79 if $433,551,971.38 were split evenly across 22 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical carrier settlement and not a typical household subsidy. High-cost support awards and modifications often explain why a modest row count can still carry a nine-figure book. Recipients are omitted because they are not in the facts.

Santa Fe did not win the dollars by appearing as NM. Matching 32.002 to New Mexico is not a broadband-coverage ranking. Neighboring geographies (Texas, Arizona, or Colorado) have their own joins. The overlay is Universal Service Fund - High Cost in New Mexico.

CFDA 32.002 without becoming a tower map

Catalog language on the line is UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - HIGH COST. That title does not convert $433,551,971.38 into a grade of New Mexico's Universal Service Fund High Cost performance. CFDA 32.002 without a New Mexico filter is a different page.

FCC Universal Service Fund reports, Form 499 filings, and state broadband maps live elsewhere. Rural-carrier and tribal-broadband folklore is not stored on this packet. Affordable Connectivity, Lifeline, or BEAD listings would have to carry 32.002 to sit inside $433,551,971.38; they generally do not.

Questions

How much Universal Service Fund High Cost support is obligated in New Mexico?

USAspending.gov records $433,551,971.38 in CFDA 32.002 obligations across 22 awards coded to New Mexico. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not New Mexico's full federal total. Keep both the program name and New Mexico in any citation.

Do 22 awards mean 22 New Mexico telecom carriers?

Award count is a row count. $433,551,971.38 ÷ 22 is about $19,706,907.79 per record as a mean, not a typical carrier settlement and not a typical household subsidy. High-cost support awards and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients. See Universal Service Fund - High Cost in New Mexico for the stored table.

Is this New Mexico's entire federal broadband book?

No. The $433,551,971.38 and 22 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 32.002 with a New Mexico geography tag. Affordable Connectivity, BEAD, and other FCC or NTIA listings use different CFDAs. Those dollars sit outside this join. Mixing those files with this join would invent a figure the packet does not support.

Where is the live New Mexico × 32.002 overlay?

Universal Service Fund - High Cost in New Mexico is the overlay. See New Mexico federal spending, New Mexico programs, CFDA 32.002, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot. Keep the obligation label on $433,551,971.38. Do not invent a fiscal year.
