2 USAC Directive  DivTel must file for E-Rate reimbursement for all State Master Contracts starting with FY2013-2014  Decision due to fact that DivTel pays service provider invoices – i.e. is Billed Entity  The change applies to all DMS-billed E-Rate Eligible SUNCOM Master Contracts Customer must file Form 471 for DMS services directly billed by the vendor e.g., Mobile Communications Services 2
