Re: Merger question

Exactly. I know all about 'hurry up and wait', thanks to Uncle Sam. I'm just keeping an ear out for developments and ensuring I'm ready to capitilize when they come about. Our area is becoming more desirable for broadband deployment. Some folks on this forum have hit Google Earth and come back with the observation that we are in the boonies. Not exactly, but it's not the big city either. However, since we did not have the meteoric rise in housing prices experienced elsewhere, we are recovering a little faster. Eventually even the ISP's will figure out there is money to be made here.

You know, we've been beating this dead horse for a while now and no one has addressed the original post. Is that a well kept secret or is there no one here who knows?

Yes, those are the terms of the FCC. 90% in three years. I don't know the specific penalties for not doing so, I imagine we'll be fined into oblivion.

So it's either spend money on infrastructure or give it to the FCC? That almost smacks of shrewdness on the FCC's part. An incentive to expand with at least a potential of profit, or give it to the government so it can be wasted properly. Thanks, Ring. That's some actual info that makes sense.
