Probably the worst cause is that the people in charge of creating and
appropriating for funding actually think the internet is a series of tubes

not as though the program was entirely useless. I'm not aware of a

i think we have different degrees of grift. that 100mbps operator is grift
to me. the idiot operator/regulator is grift to me. the senator thing,
thats just good business practice

I've seen physical audits to confirm that when we submitted for
reimbursement for 100 base stations that we actually deployed 100 base
stations. There are financial audits of course, and they'll harp on any
perceived irregularity until they're satisfied. Sometimes the physical

official testing nodes (I thought there were) to verify. Wireless coverage

A lot of them already work that way. In NY you don't get a grant until
you've built something and then you get reimbursed for it. CAF gives you
monthly distributions and does not cover any up front capital at all. I
haven't seen every program, but the ones I have seen all required you to

AFTER you serve the area and verify. A whole lot less grift when playing
with your own money. Ill get shot here, but I think no funding for anything
other than a hardline solution like fiber should be available anywhere
within
There's too much emphasis on Mbps, but my guess is the political
decision makers observe that cable and fiber companies selling 100M+
generate fewer complaints from constituents than wireless operators
offering 25Mbps.
I'm not going to name any names, but I've seen a few grant funded

I'm trying to figure out who was lobbying for this. Comcast in our area
is advertising 1-1.5gb/s download, but upload speed is only 30mb.
Unless Comcast is looking for Billions of dollars to forklift upgrade to
FTTH. Or are they hoping that DOCSIS4 will fix that.

You would think that since they bothered coming up with excuses why the
current standard isn't good enough, they could at least come up with a
number based on their imagined need, instead of just coming up with a
random number with no basis in anything other than "100/100 sounds good".
It's not
As long as they're tossing arbitrary numbers for need out there without any
fact based justification I think we should get carte blanche to do as we

Just create another CBRS database and let's get a huge swath of spectrum

we could service 700-800 people if only more spectrum was available and it
wouldn't impact anyone else in that band. If it does? Shut it off. Spectrum

Meth and kickbacks. They need to just free up 500mhz-120ghz for just WISP
use. Then each wisp can have a ton of spectrum to get that porn to every
