Certainly. There are lots and lots of them. They almost all claim that they already provide service to 50% of the households covered in the application. However, TW is never going to provide service to those who are not already served by them unless the population increases many fold and if someone in their service area wants to switch to me, I won't take them because it's probably due to them not paying their TW bill.
I guess the lesson I take from this is that if there is another round of funding, don't include any census block that has Cable or Telco broadband available in any part of it. With that said, I see the value in filing a dispute. I could just borrow the TW form. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/10pnr.pdf http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/25pnr.pdf http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/125pnr.pdf http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/376pnr.pdf http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/1184pnr.pdf And I know this guy.... http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/1996pnr.pdf His area is all hills, valleys and lots of trees. Sparse population. TW covers 50%. Maybe in the only small town there. And my buddy Larry next door... http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/responses/2743pnr.pdf He covers many square miles with no TW but he does overlap into the city and I'm sure that was included in the census block.

Is this the M.O. of these large telecoms? Even if they don't provide service to the entire area, and never will, to try to poison the water for anyone else?
