In accordance with the 2019 Policy Direction,Footnote 3 the Commission considers that this order, which is based on a complete record, can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation. Specifically, the final approval of this application will promote (i) consumer interests, because, as a result of an upgrade of the community transport from satellite to low-capacity microwave, another Type C community will be added to V-Connect service, allowing more service options for customers; and (ii) innovation, because consumers will have access to high-quality telecommunications services as a result of receiving the network upgrade.
