Comment on Internet providers that won FCC grants try to escape broadband commitmentsparent

Comments

I had looked at the GIS maps of some of these service areas around me, and it looked like the submission of these bids was from an automated system, that no human had reviewed. There were all sorts of little carve outs by some company on the east coast. I seem to recall some were in parks or wildlife areas inside the city, some were tiny 2 or 3 house areas. Not surprised they are concerned about the costs of serving some of these areas, serving a couple houses in the middle of town is going to be astronomical.

Likely SpaceX

No, there were some swaths of SpaceX, but this was another company I had never heard of, I want to say the company was listed as being in Virginia, but I don't remember any details.

Maybe LTD broadband?

I know SpaceX bid for almost every square inch of the US
