This is to be done at the aggregate level (combining all proposed funded service areas.) • Indicate how the milestones listed below will demonstrate these completion objectives. The applicant should consider such project areas as: a) network design; b) securing all relevant licenses and agreements; c) site preparation; d) equipment procurement; e) inside plant deployment; f) outside plant deployment; g) equipment deployment; h) network testing; i) network complete and operational. The applicant may provide any other milestones that it believes showcase progress. • Project inception (Year 0) starts at the date when the applicant receives notice that the project has been approved for funding. • In he table, provide any information (e.g., facts, analysis) to: a) demonstrate the reasonableness of these milestones; b) substan iate the ability to reach the milestones by the quarters indicated. • On a separate sheet, describe the key challenges, if any, to a timely completion of he project, including any applicable mitigation plans.
