Remember, this rulemaking is for 1.1 million locations with the "worst" return on investment. The end of the tail of the long tail. Rural and tribal locations which aren't profitable to provide higher speed broadband.
These locations have very low customer density, and difficult to serve.After the Sandwich Isles Communications scandal, gold-plated proposals will be viewed with skepticism. While a proposal may have a lower total cost of ownership over decades, the business case is the cheapest for the first 10 years of subsidies. [massive over-simplification]
Historically, these projects have lack of timely completion (abandoned, incomplete), and bad (overly optimistic?) budgeting.
