Interesting. I guess that the Form 477 doesn't count for this? Many of
those cities (most???) in Washington are already well covered!

Anyone heard of Open Range Communications Inc.?
They have applied for RUS grant money in numerous cities
throughout the country. Below are a few links to their notices
that I have found however, based on search engine results,
it appears as though they have also applied for RUS funds in
Kentucky, Florida and Virginia as well. I know that there are
a couple cities in our coverage area that they have applied for
RUS money to construct their own facilities in so I'll be filing
the necessary paperwork with RDUP in hopes that their
application for those two areas is declined. I am unable to locate
where they are based or their contact information. I searched
bbb.org and dnb.com but they are not registered with either of
these so I'm thinking they may be a start-up company.
There are quite a few cities listed in each of their state notices
below so if you are operating in any of these states, you'll want
to click the applicable link(s) I've provided below to see if they
are trying to invade your turf too. The last thing we as WISP's
need is for RUS money to be given out to someone who is
attempting to compete with one of us in an area that already
has broadband. We need to each do our part and file the
necessary form with RDUP so they don't give money away
for areas that already have broadband available whether the
area is covered by a WISP, CLEC or ILEC.
