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?

Plus Frontier is just generally incompetent, hence the bankruptcy. On Wed, Dec 16, 2020 at 10:58 AM Adam Moffett <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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.

Keep in mind this is FreePress, which likes criticizing Internet policy a lot.
