LTD Broadband Congratulates the FCC on Running a Successful Broadband Auction

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, LTD Broadband congratulated the Federal Communications Commission for running a successful Phase I Rural Development Opportunity Fund auction. The auction was the first step in bringing broadband to millions of Americans who still lack reliable voice and high-speed internet services.

"We look forward to deploying our high-capacity, low-latency, and highly-scalable broadband network," said Corey Hauer, CEO of LTD Broadband, which secured $1.3 billion of the $9.2 billion in Phase I awards.

The RDOF auction provides funding to internet and voice service providers who can build the fastest, highly-reliable, low-cost networks in rural areas over the next decade. LTD's technology will reach over 500,000 homes and business in 15 states -- Calif., Colo., Iowa, Ill., Ind., Kan., Minn., Mo., N.D., Neb., Ohio, Okla., S.D., Texas, and Wis. Due to the RDOF program, LTD will greatly expand its fiber-optic internet offerings to underserved areas in rural America.

This auction is part of a years-long FCC campaign to expand broadband internet access across the United States. Additional funding is expected to be available in future phases, which will target areas still lacking reliable internet.
