[1st-mile-nm] FCC Rural BB Funding in 23 states: not NM

[John Badal]

Richard,

The FCC awarded New Mexico-serving companies in earlier rounds.  There are only 5 companies that won CAF II bids in NM, mostly in NW New Mexico.  All amounts are to be distributed over 10 years:

Commnet/NTUA, fixed wireless at 25Mbps download  - $16,936,400
Echo Wireless Broadband, fixed wireless at 25Mbps download - $1,542,200
Plains Internet, FTTH at 100Mbps download - $2,582,800
SW DinehNet, fixed wireless at 25Mbps download - $2,038,700
Viasat, satellite at 10Mbps download - $3,132,700.

Totalling for NM = $26,232,800

The locations included in these awards are the most remote places in the US. I’m not even sure that $2,000 buy an upgrade to DSL. The issue for remote places is building fiber within a reasonable distance from a customer in order to shorten the loops.

I’d be very interested to hear folks’ opinion on what an average of $2K/home buys you…
