So basically they are once again scamming the tax payers of money. Pull their funding and then sue them into bankruptcy.
I think the WTA (group representing other rural providers) has a point. Likely several of the ISPs represented by the RDOF did underbid, so now they are asking for the amount of money it would really take to finish the work they bid on. Except now with rising inflation it gives them better cover to ask for more money, they still should be held accountable or at least forced to give back all the money.
