David,
I'm grateful for your post because it provides new information that I
did not know.
After reading it, and hearing that you can only review applications in
states where your employer does NOT do business and that several
reviewers read each application, I feel somewhat more comfortable with
the volunteer reviewing process.
Thanks for adding to my understanding.

Let's say I work for AT&T, and I'm volunteering to review BTOP/BIP
applications. I'm not allowed to review any application where any part
of the coverage area is in any state where AT&T offers service. What
possible reason would I have to give applications low scores just
because of the technology they use?
That aside, the reviewers aren't the final step. A committee of several
reviewers reads an application, and each scores it independently, and
then the government itself looks over the applications some more. The
reviewers are basically a nonsense-filter, and don't have the authority
to single-handedly do much of anything.
I can't go into too much detail because of confidentiality agreements,
but I'm pretty sure I couldn't crush an application even if I wanted to
(which means neither can anyone else).
