Statement on Federal Communications Commission Ready to Authorize Public Notice Regarding Starry’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Application

Starry Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Starry”)​​, a next generation licensed fixed wireless internet service provider and technology developer, today released the following statement regarding the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) “ready to authorize” announcement regarding Starry’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (“RDOF”) application:

“Having high-speed, reliable home broadband access has never been more important and programs like RDOF are critical to ensuring that every community in the US has access to this essential service,” said Chet Kanojia, Starry co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve more Americans with the essential broadband they need. We thank Chairwoman Rosenworcel and the staff at the FCC for their thorough review of our application and look forward to beginning our deployments and bringing #HappyInterneting to more communities across the country.”

Starry won RDOF Phase I support over the next 10 years to deploy gigabit service to currently underserved census blocks in communities across nine states. The RDOF Phase I program was created to bring fixed broadband service to areas defined as unserved, or without access to broadband speeds of 25 Mbps download / 3 Mbps upload. Starry will begin construction in these communities.

Starry is a next generation licensed fixed wireless internet service provider and technology developer with operations today in eight metropolitan areas including Boston, New York City, DC, Columbus, Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Starry’s network today covers more than 5.7 million households across these markets.
