Where did they do that in the past?
Frontier built a lot of infrastructure through NY State funding
programs. If they tried shenanigans like that, NY State would screw
them to a wall. Not sure how RDOF works.

Is it better to fund Frontier FTTH and risk them being evil,
incompetent Frontier or better to leave rural WV unserved? It's easy
to sit back in our comfy chairs and say Frontier doesn't deserve that
money, but then what do we do after not giving it to them?

It should probably be a requirement that you aren't under
bankruptcy protection if you're going to be getting public money.
Plus Frontier is just generally incompetent, hence the bankruptcy.

I saw the senator's complaint. I can't speak to Frontier's
competency, but Frontier threw their hat in the ring to
voluntarily serve unprofitable areas with government
assistance. I'm betting the senator's complaint is moot
because nobody else wants that job.

I forget who was complaining that SpaceX was getting RDOF
money to serve areas like universities and airports, but
FreePress is complaining about the same thing.
Keep in mind this is FreePress, which likes criticizing
Internet policy a lot. Also winners still have to submit
their long forms.

I also saw that a WV senator was objecting money to
Frontier which she said was not competent to deliver
gigabit service in her state.
