WASHINGTON, June 11, 2024 – Commnet Wireless is looking to hand off more locations for which it won subsidy support in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.

The Federal Communications Commission’s RDOF program is making more than $6 billion net available over the next 10 years to fund rural broadband expansion. Providers competed in a 2020 reverse auction with bids to serve rural areas with the least government support.
