The programs I've been involved with did not have anything to do with the FCC.  Sounds like they have more technical competency than some other agenciesand that's a good thing. On 4/6/2020 4:40 PM, Eric Muehleisen wrote: No persistence. We objected and they sent someone out almost

No persistence. We objected and they sent someone out almost immediately. This was during CAFII. I assume RDOF will be the same. I've yet to hear of anyone actually providing validation testing. I know the FCC has a couple different methods of remote validation but I haven't seen it personally. We

I'm glad they came out and checked.  You're probably a more believable witness than some Internet customers are.  How persistent did you have to be to get someone to come out? On 4/6/2020 4:25 PM, Eric Muehleisen wrote: The FCC won't drive around and test themselves, but they will follow you

The FCC won't drive around and test themselves, but they will follow you as you drive around and test. We disputed several locations that had won CAF2 and the FCC sent out two contractors to come out and verify our speeds/claims. We spent 2-3 hours with them one morning testing in various

The company owner/administrator talking to the government either believes the incorrect assumptions or is wholly committed to the lie.  So they confidently report that they're delivering 25 Meg like they're supposed to.  Evidence to the contrary is a fluke or an error.  The FCC isn't going to

But seemingly, if everyone’s lying, won’t the FCC/etc. come down hard in response? Example A: 477’s, where many I’ve seen have a fabrication factor, sometimes a very high one. > On Apr 6, 2020, at 12:13 PM, Adam Moffett wrote: > > I've seen a number of grant funding proposals based on 25M and

I've seen a number of grant funding proposals based on 25M and 100M speeds. In general what they do is lie.  Or they're wrong. First you use the capacity planning tool provided the manufacturer and remember that you can populate the values however you want to.  Your prediction doesn't have to

So if I understand we’ll have to provide 25/3 to ALL locations that receive RDOF funding? If so, how would that happen without the 6GHz that isn’t out yet and won’t be by the time this round funds? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
