Dysfunctional West Virginia Returns Broadband Stimulus Funds → to clear up some FUD

Frontier had nothing to do with the over-price routers, that failure is on the state Office of Technology, Cisco, and Verizon Network Integration. The over-priced out of state consultant was part of the same deal with Verizon.

Frontier did use money to run fiber to so-called anchor institutions, read government buildings like libraries. My main concerns are that the money was not ear-marked for residential access (like fttp or vdsl) or used to relieve any backbone congestion. This problem is mostly the government's fault though. Also, from what I read there was poor accounting of the fiber placed and high cost to place it.
