because they knew that the Bush era FCC wouldn’t pursue the matter.
There’s been many FCC’s since then that could have and should have enforced. Both parties have been sucking on this front… spending money in ways that only benefit mega-corps with no ability to punish those same corps.
Jessica Rosenworcel is handing out money right now. I saw her speak in 2023 and she was quite enthusiastic about all the money they were handing out. I looked at the structure of it and its the same as what they were doing during Bush’s and Obama’s administrations. Its a farce and it will just pad the bottom line of the major telcos without building one more mile of physical plant. Just like all the other times. Until some type of limit on payment is implemented similar to erate which is now under attack nothing will ever happen other than the money will disappear.
