Subject: [Starlink] FCC Upholds Denial of Starlink’s RDOF Application
“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.”
[RR] The reason two lawyers “saw a path” is because they were bribed/conned into to see it. In my nearly 50years of experience dealing with the FCC, extremely rarely are the people at the top in the commission tech savvy. In general, they have NO CLUE when it comes to technology … period! JJ
All the best,
