DoCoMo is one of 180 winning bidders of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction, the Federal Communications Commission announced Monday. Funding terms require DoCoMo to offer broadband services to 80 percent of the coverage area by the end of the fifth year. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of high speed internet access for distance learning, telehealth, and business activities, as social distancing requirements have forced a shift in-person to on-line. Congratulations to DoCoMo. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
