[1st-mile-nm] FCC RDOF Awardees in NM

[Mimbres Communications]

FCC seemed in an awfully big hurry to hold this auction.  WISPA pushed
unsuccessfully for fixing our badly broken broadband mapping scheme prior
to determining eligible locations for RDOF.

Small providers were effectively foreclosed from participating (as usual)
by byzantine requirements imposed on potential bidders.  Big corporate
players with well-documented failures meeting their CAF & CAF II
obligations once again promised to deliver things we know they won't.
CAF-funded fIber-fed cabinets that connect to noone continue to dot the
local landscape here.
