“Why would the Commerce Department intentionally slow down Virginia’s broadband advancements and its builds? The answer is simple: it is demanding Virginia’s low-cost BEAD broadband offerings establish a specific price… Commerce’s foolhardy attempt to set broadband rates may stem from an elitist, it-knows-better mentality. Knows better than the providers offering such services. Knows better than the free-market system that would otherwise determine rates. Knows better than consumers in need of the services. Knows better than the state that has already successfully awarded several rounds of broadband funding. But more likely, Commerce is deviously trying to set this rate because it will help establish a de facto rate across all low-cost broadband tiers, even those outside BEAD.”
