Cox Communications' lawsuit criticizes how the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation plans to distribute BEAD funding, alleging it serves wealthy areas instead of low-income residents needing access.
Cox claims the Commerce Corporation is hiding data that would reveal shortcomings in their distribution plan, which contradicts their stated goal of closing the digital divide.
Rhode Island Commerce Corporation asserts that the federal funds are intended to effectively address the digital divide, contradicting Cox's portrayal of the funding process.
The agency emphasizes the funds, awarded by NTIA, are a vital opportunity for enhancing digital access across Rhode Island, challenging Cox's allegations.
