Coupons used to be mailed out as requested (independent of the expiration of 
unredeemed coupons) because there was enough money in the till to cover both 
the old and new coupons.  Now the till is empty so new requests have to wait 
until when (and if) outstanding coupons expire.

  According to an FCC rep who spoke at our Station last week during our soft 
cutoff test, IBM (the company administering the NTIA coupon program) mail out 
new coupons as unredeemed coupons expire.  That is the only bottleneck holding 
up mailing out coupons.

    New coupons will be mailed as funds from expired coupons become available, 
as only 52.5 percent of the requested coupons have been redeemed.
