I live in a relatively rural area that historically has only been serviced by DSL from the local telephone company. When I first moved out here I was surprised that broadband available, but there’s been zero investment in infrastructure or capacity since then. Starlink from SpaceX was just made available through a partnership with a state agency and it’s obvious that DSLs days are numbered. RDOF is also stretching the reach of cable and fiber broadband to areas previously only serviced by the telephone company. The thing that occurred to me however is that many people don’t maintain dial tone at home, and once DSL alternatives are available I’m curious what the telephone companies going to do with all of this infrastructure and zero customers. As far as I know somebody’s on the hook to make telecom available to every home, does RDOF move that responsibility to the organization receiving the funding for Internet?
