Questions Received with Applicant Answers ( Ask Questions? )

The terminating address for the internet connection is listed as: 521 3rd St, Bledsoe, 79312 Please verify that this is the correct terminating address. If so, can you provide coordinates?

Answer:
See below. I just noticed that the wrong zip code is listed. It should be Bledsoe, TX 79314 not 79312.

33.6192664, -103.0213305

N33° 37.156', W103° 1.2798'

Does Cellular Service need to be included-bundled or can we provide a bid for voice and data only?

Answer:
I’m not sure I understand your question. You can bid the local, long distance and Internet without bidding cell phone service. If there are requirements that you bid bundled service, those requirements would be listed on this IFCB.
