WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2024 - Pinpoint Communications informed the Federal Communications Commission on Friday of its intent to surrender three census block groups it won at the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund reverse auction in 2020.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Neb., Pinpoint serves 22 communities in the state.
The company noted in its letter to the FCC that it understood that it would no longer be eligible to receive RDOF support for the defaulted census block groups. The company may also be subject to additional noncompliance measures under the FCC’s rules.
The efforts are not termed ‘investigations,’ but - signed only by Democrats - demand answers from Carr.

The Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment on the proposal.
