LTD Broadband Withdraws Partial RDOF ETC Petition for Reconsideration

LTD Broadband withdrew its petition for reconsideration of an FCC order denying the ISP's request for a limited waiver of Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction rules requiring eligible telecom carrier designation, per a filing posted Tuesday in docket 19-126. LTD Broadband sought reconsideration of the order denying a waiver for its effort to obtain ETC designation in California. The California Public Utilities Commission denied a rehearing on a previous order rejecting LTD Broadband's ETC designation request in May (see 2205170058). The ISP has a pending petition for reconsideration on its efforts to obtain ETC designation in Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota.
