Astound VP Fred Maldonado said the company won only 12 of 25 BEAD applications in Oregon, leaving awarded areas too far from its existing network to justify construction costs. Public records show Astound forfeited roughly $90.6 million of its Oregon award, alongside a similar decision to decline ~$166 million in Texas.
Oregon's broadband office said it is moving forward with most of its preliminary BEAD awards, but Astound Broadband is declining nearly $90.7 million meant to serve 11,000 homes and businesses. The refused projects were mostly pure fiber builds, with about 3,000 locations involving fixed wireless/fiber combinations.
Oregon's Broadband Office executed signed BEAD subgrant contracts with 15 providers, moving those projects from planning into pre-construction and deployment. Comcast and Starlink, covering 6,782 and 48,631 locations respectively, missed the signing deadline and have not yet finalized their agreements.
