Insight
Over the last 10 years, FCC obligations total $1.87 billion across 7,793 awards, averaging about $240.3 thousand per award. Funding is unevenly distributed, with a pronounced peak in 2023 at $378.9 million, followed by elevated levels in 2021 ($336.0 million) and 2022 ($227.8 million), while earlier years were generally near or below $229.1 million.
