FCC Grants Wisper ISP a Limited RDOF Waiver

The Federal Communications Commission grants Wisper Internet a limited waiver of the Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund service milestone and non-compliance rules. If Wisper timely repays the RDOF support it has received for all the eligible census blocks within the census block groups covered by its authorized Arkansas winning bids, we will relieve Wisper of RDOF obligations to serve these CBGs. This relief will maximize high-cost Universal Service Fund Support while also ensuring that no consumers are stranded without service because every location in the authorized census blocks in these CBGs is able to access broadband offered by another service provider at speeds that meet or exceed RDOF speeds.
