The state wants our BDC data, strange they can’t just get it from the feds. They should contact the DOGE boys, they have all the data.
Since we contract it out now, I got the .csv file from them and was going to forward it to the state, but it turns out they want it as a .zip archive, uploaded with a filename that is formatted just so with our ISP name and FRN and stuff. Like chewing a worm for a baby bird. So screw that. We won’t be getting any BEAD money, and submitting our BDC data isn’t going to stop them from subsidizing someone else to overbuild us. It feels exactly like telling us to dig our own grave. Or it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

He says the previous rules interpreted the bill to mean that only FTTH would meet the performance and future-proofing requirements. He is claiming that there are proposed rule changes that will allow Starlink but not allow fixed wireless. I don't know whether the changes intentionally benefit Starlink, but this guy is crying foul and felt strongly enough about it to resign over it. -Adam _____ From: AF on behalf of Ken Hohhof Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2025 12:19 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: [AFMUG] BEAD I’m surprised BEAD hasn’t run into problems because the E stands for Equity and DEI is now banned.
