ISP Seeks RDOF Waiver to Solve Duplicative Broadband Grants

WASHINGTON, August 7, 2024 – In a bid to prevent duplication of federal broadband funding, Resound Networks has asked the Federal Communications Commission for a waiver to give up certain Rural Digital Opportunity Fund obligations on Tribal lands.

Following an agreement with the affected Tribal governments, Resound has requested relief to give up 21 census blocks without the normal penalties in Oklahoma and Arizona that were funded by both the FCC’s RDOF and the NTIA’s Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program.
