FCC Revises Letter of Credit Provisions in RDOF Order, Adds Eligibility Exclusion Based on Federal, State Subsidies

摘要

Over the partial dissents of Democratic Commissioners Jessica Rosenworcel and Geoffrey Starks, the FCC has established a framework for the two-phase Rural Digital Opportunity Fund to distribute as much as $20.4 billion over 10 years, with up to $16 billion available for fully unserved census blocks in a multiround reverse auction planned for later this year, and at least $4.4 billion available for unserved locations in partially served census blocks in an auction that will be held after the FCC has better broadband mapping data.
