Attorneys for Sandwich Isles Communications cited the "critical importance of federal high-cost support" for SIC to operate in the "very high-cost" Hawaiian Home Lands, in a meeting with the FCC Office of General Counsel staff on the "status of high-cost support disbursements" to the company. The disbursements were the subject of a petition for emergency relief filed by SIC earlier this month seeking rescission of an FCC directive suspending high-cost program support for the company -- SIC said in a letter posted by the commission Tuesday in docket 10-90. They also said SIC is willing to cooperate with an ongoing Universal Service Administrative Company audit and that the audit needs to be completed "as soon as possible," citing the "need for resolution of the suspension" affecting the company's high-cost support during July through December of this year and the need for resolution of state certification challenges that could "potentially" affect its 2016 high-cost support, the letter said.
