Mini update on MN PUC’s look at LTD Broadband: nonpublic documents are shared internally

I have been tracking the saga of MN Public Utility Commission (PUC) investigation into LTD Broadband. Here’s a recap…

LTD was awarded an opportunity to apply for $311 million in federal RDOF funding. They needed the ETC designation from the MN PUC to qualify; industry folks asked the MN PUC to rethink their designation because there were concerns about LTD being able to fulfill the contract. Earlier, their application for RDOF was rejected. The MN PUC is still looking into LTD Broadband to decide if they should decide to revoke it. Last week, the PUC made a decision that could result in speeding up the resolution.

Not much to report, but I like having all the PUC actions in the blog so that I can easily track what’s happening. Today they sent out a notice that folks involved have signed documents saying they will not share documents that are not for public. This seems to indicate that the case in indeed moving forward.
