Firefly Broadband Looking to Scoop up Virginia RDOF Locations

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 2024 – A Virginia broadband provider is looking to take over 463 subsidized homes and businesses that another provider is handing back. The company is asking federal regulators to step in and help seal the deal.

“Firefly Broadband would appreciate any actions the Commission or its staff may be willing to take that would facilitate the assignment of the referenced locations in Madison County to Firefly Broadband,” the company wrote in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission.

FiberLight Broadband sought in August to hand back more than 4,700 locations it won in the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.
