[Frantisek Borsik]

“*Elon Musk*’s Starlink was not the only major company to inflate its
capabilities

in
RDOF bids. Nearly 100 bidders have defaulted since the auction, leaving in
limbo an estimated $2.8 billion

of
the $9.2 billion originally awarded.

The FCC upheld another denial

 on Monday in the case of LTD Broadband, which appealed the commission’s
finding that it could not reasonably serve the more than 500,000 locations
to which it had committed. The commission also hit LTD with a $21.7 million
fine for its default.

The commission’s two Republicans dissented to Starlink’s denial, claiming
they saw a path for the company to improve its speeds before the first
deployment deadline in 2025.”
