Quote from the article:
>Starlink is the only company actually solving rural broadband at scale! They should arguably dissolve the program and return funds to taxpayers, but definitely not send it (to) those who aren’t getting the job done
Are these other companies meeting the targets? If not then it seems pretty arbitrary to reject just SpaceX for not doing so yet.

- why_at 3y agoFair enough I guess, this could be total BS. FWIW the dissenting FCC commissioners made similar arguments. >In 2022, many RDOF recipients had deployed no service at any speed to any location at all, and they had no obligation to do so Maybe this is just more spin from people who want to turn this into another political battleground. It's not entirely clear to me, but it seems like there is room for doubt.
