Plan for nationwide free wireless broadband finally shot down
But on Wednesday M2Z informed the press that the FCC has told the company and its backers that the Commission is dropping the concept, and that is so:
“We gave careful and thorough consideration to the proposal, but ultimately determined that this was not the best policy outcome,” Ruth Milkman, chief of the FCC’s Wireless Bureau told us. “We remain vigilant in our efforts to facilitate the universal deployment and adoption of broadband, especially through the much-needed reform to the Universal Service Fund.”
Needless to say, the news came as a disappointment to John Muleta, CEO of M2Z.
