The map is a farce.
There should be some way of dealing with people who
CLAIM to be providing service in an area where they
are not, or who are planning on using a RUS loans to
provide service where there are already providers
with service.
I know during the application process that public notice
was required, but that has been years ago, other services have started up in
areas that still are not being
serviced by RUS loan awardees.

Subject: [WISPA] Interesting RUS info
Look and see who is moving into your community:
http://broadbandsearch.sc.egov.usda.gov/SearchTabs.aspx
The interesting text is located here:
http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/broadband-search.htm
"Special Note to Potential Loan Applicants: Potential applicants should
note
that Rural Development cannot provide funding to another entity for
communities associated with approved applications and that communities
associated with pending applications are restricted until a lending
decision
is reached on the pending application. In addition, Rural Development
cannot
provide funding to an additional entity for towns where the Agency has an
active Telecom borrower providing broadband service. For active Telecom
borrowers see: http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom
<http://www.usda.gov/rus/telecom/index.htm> ."
This locks me out of getting funding from RUS for towns that have already
been "claimed" by RUS loan applicants.. So much for competition?!
Does this lock you out of competition as well?
