Thank you, at least one other person on this site is willing to admit that this plan was never going to be the panacea for unserved rural areas.
Probably not, but 95% of America is more than 95% of the population. More than 5% of the nation is technically uninhabited.

It is completely beyond doubt that they meant 95% of the population.

Not completely beyond doubt... Coverage is sometimes express in terms of geographic area.

However, I found the FCC filing. They are talking population. My mistake.

quote:
Require the licensee to provide signal coverage and offer service to: 1) at least 50
percent of the total population of the nation within four years of commencement of
the license term and 2) at least 95 percent of the total population of the nation at the
end of the 10-year license term.
