FCDL Comment:
The FRN is denied because you failed to respond to our repeated requests to provide supporting documentation to demonstrate that you chose the most cost effective service provider for cellular services. Documentation was not provided to demonstrate that price of the eligible products and services was the primary factor in the selection of the vendor. The documentation you submitted indicated that FRN 2595439 is a request for 10 lines of cellular service for voice and text provided by Cheap Talk in the amount of $98/month per line and FRN 2689918 is a request for 5 lines of cellular service for voice and data provided by Verizon Wireless in the amount of $98/month per line. However, you did not explain how the services for voice and text provided by Cheap Talk are cost effective when compared to the services for voice and data provided by Verizon Wireless at the same rate of $98/month per line. Because we cannot determine that a cost effective service provider or offering was chosen, with price of the eligible products and services being the primary evaluation factor as required by FCC rules, the FRN is denied.
