Can I join more than one Rural Health Care Pilot Program network? If I have a signed LOA with the California Telehealth Network am I excluded from participating in other networks?
You are allowed to join multiple networks; however, California submitted a single coordinated proposal to the FCC so in our case CTN is rather unique in that this effort is being coordinated on a larger statewide-basis, rather than among multiple smaller pilot program networks. However, if you are approached to participate in another RHCPP network the FCC and USAC do not exclude you from doing so, but it may not be necessary since many of the Pilot Program networks will be connecting to National LamdaRail or Internet2, which will interconnect between many of the various pilot program networks.
