Rural Digital Opportunity Fund

Comments in the FCC proceeding setting out the rules for RDOF were due on September 20. Responses to those comments were due on October 21.

WIN urged the Commission to:

Wait and hold a single-phase auction after the Commission’s broadband maps are updated to reflect location-specific service availability.

Ensure that funds are used to deploy terrestrial broadband services, including fiber, which will enable 5G expansion and deliver other positive externalities in rural economies.

Include effective gating criteria to safeguard funds and ensure that winning bidders have the wherewithal to fulfill their commitments.

Include adequate transitions from CAF II support to ensure that rural consumers are not left without service.

WIN currently receives federal CAF II model-based support in exchange for service and deployment obligations that run through the end of 2020. Previously, the FCC stated it would offer transition funding and we are urging the Commission to offer a full year of additional support ($174.9M) in 2021 to bridge the gap to the next funding program.

Earlier this year, the FCC announced that a two-phase reverse auction (the “Rural Digital Opportunity Fund” or “RDOF”) would commence in 2020 and succeed CAF II in delivering broadband funding support to predominantly rural areas and totaling $20.4 billion over ten years.

Broadband Mapping Issues The service availability information of first phase of RDOF is flawed because it

relies on outdated FCC Form 477 data– Only includes the highest service speed offered by a provider in a given census

block– FCC’s current maps assume that all locations within that block are served at the

highest speed, due to no location-specific information being available

WIN participated in a USTelecom-led mapping pilot project– In Virginia and Missouri, location information currently used either overcount or

undercount locations in census blocks 48% of time – Up to 38% of rural census block locations that are not served by the pilot participants

are counted as “served” in FCC Form 477 data being relied on by FCC

14

These inaccuracies pose serious issues for RDOF

Fewer locations than FCC count means bidder has to return funds jeopardizing economics of local deployment

More locations than FCC count means those consumers would be left without broadband

Hundreds of thousands of unserved locations in “served” census blocks could be left behind because the FCC cannot address those locations without accurate maps. The FCC is currently planning to address them once the maps are updated in RDOF Phase II, but with a likely insufficient budget ($4.4 billion vs. $16 billion in Phase I).

(1) Operating results for the consumer CLEC business sold on December 31, 2018 have been excluded from all prior periods(2) Adjusted OIBDAR is adjusted OIBDA before the annual cash payment due under the Uniti arrangement(3) Adjusted OIBDA is operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment, excluding expense associated with the arrangement with Uniti, pension

expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, merger, integration and certain other costs(4) Margins are calculated by dividing the respective profitability measures by total revenues and sales.
