Universal Service Fund - Lifeline in Oklahoma

The Lifeline–Oklahoma pair in USAspending

CFDA 32.003 is titled UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND - LIFELINE. Filtered to Oklahoma place of performance, obligations sum to $299,442,183 on 69 awards. The national Lifeline hub has no Oklahoma filter. The Oklahoma spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the intersection. $299,442,183 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of subsidized lines in Oklahoma.

High Cost, E-Rate, and Rural Health Care sit in other Universal Service Fund catalogs. Mixing them into $299,442,183 would invent a broader USF total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $299,442,183, 69 awards, OK, and 32.003. Correlation is not causation.

Sixty-nine awards are not sixty-nine carriers

The facts report 69 award records, not the identity of eligible telecommunications carriers. A carrier can appear more than once across modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. 69 is not a census of Oklahoma households enrolled in Lifeline.

A simple mean near $4.34 million per award is arithmetic only. The packet publishes no median, no maximum, and no year field. Do not annualize $299,442,183. Downward modifications, if present in the raw file, are already netted into the supplied total.
