Wisper ISP, Inc. has responded to Conexon, LLC’s opposition to Wisper’s petition for waiver of the deadline for certifying its designation as an ETC in Oklahoma. Wisper’s reply also addresses Conexon’s request to declare Wisper in default of its CAF Phase II compliance obligations in Kansas because Wisper was granted ETC status based on incorrect broadband speed obligations. In its reply, Wisper maintains that the FCC lacks any authority to declare Wisper in default of its state obligations in Kansas.
