FCC Suspends Charles A. Jones from E-Rate and Universal Service Fund Programs

The FCC Enforcement Bureau issued a Notice of Suspension to Charles A. Jones, preventing him from participating in any activities related to E-Rate (Schools and Libraries Program) and other Universal Service Fund programs. This action initiates formal debarment proceedings against Jones. The suspension is effective immediately upon issuance.

Affected parties including schools, libraries, and service providers participating in USF programs should verify that Jones is not engaged as a consultant, vendor, or in any other capacity for E-Rate or USF-funded projects.

The debarment proceedings signal continued FCC enforcement attention to program participation standards.
