Conexon Offers to Drop Tribal Land RDOF Bids

Conexon is willing to default on winning Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction bids in some areas and withdraw its pending eligible telecom carrier designation if the FCC waives default requirements and penalties, said a petition posted Wednesday in docket 19-126. Conexon said the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe expressed concerns that the census blocks Conexon won may preclude the tribes from receiving NTIA funding to build a fixed wireless broadband network using 2.5 GHz.
