Abstract
Asked whether there were politically divisive items - such as reconsideration of the 2017 decision by a Republican-controlled Commission to classify broadband Internet access service as an information service - that she cannot or is not moving forward on, Chairwoman Rosenworcel said that she is working closely with her colleagues to try to make progress on as many things as possible in light of the 2-2 divide. In response to a question about the review of longform applications from winning bidders in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction, Chairwoman Rosenworcel said, The agency staff are reviewing the long-form applications. .. Asked whether focusing on ensuring data is upto-the-minute dooms unserved communities to always being denied broadband because data will never be current, Commissioner Carr said that the idea with this [broadband location] fabric is going to give us a far more up-to-the-moment [picture] than we have been with Form 477 [data from service providers].
