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.
