Providers Ask FCC to Reject Nextlink's RDOF Application

Telecom providers asked the FCC to reject Nextlink's long-form application for the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction. Nextlink “is not qualified, and therefore ineligible, to receive RDOF support” because it “has a history of violating FCC rules” and has already defaulted on its New Mexico RDOF census block groups, said Central Texas Telecom, Coleman, Neit Services, Taylor Telecom and Totelcom Friday in docket 19-126. The providers also asked the commission to grant access to Nextlink's long-form application information. Nextlink didn't comment.
