A major disappointment was that almost $6.8 billion was not awarded. Of the other top ten winners, three are price cap ILECs (CenturyLink, Frontier, and Windstream), one is a consortium of rural electric membership cooperatives, one is a cable company (Charter), four are wireless internet service providers ( AMG Technology, Resound Networks, Connect Everyone (Starry) and LTD Broadband), and one is the low earth orbit satellite operator SpaceX. The remaining $6.8 billion will roll over to Phase II of the RDOF, which now has a projected budget of $10.8 billion. https://www.natlawreview.com/article/telecom-alert-fcc-approves-first-6-ghz-wi-fi-device-rdof-winners-breakdown-annual ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20201214175119.DFCAF732@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 17:51:19 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: NM: Tuesday's COVID-19 daily report delayed due to internet network outage ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- New Mexico will not report COVID-19 daily cases Tuesday.
