Eh that's just a subsidy to the telecoms, they've poured money to "upgrade internet in rural areas" at least four times before, and even though the telecoms fail utterly to come to even the minimum standards of the agreements nothing untoward happens to them.

This is a last grab, as Starlink (Elon Musk) and Kuipier (Jeff Bezos) are about to deliver better service for cheaper over the surface of the entire planet, and make money doing it.

The DOJ will need to carefully consider this matter for a couple of months/years.

Of course not. Much chin scratching contemplation is required that will take years to resolve. Those i's won't dot themselves.

SPLC has a page on this Sovereign Citizen bullshit.

They identified themselves as Posse Comitatus, which is Latin for “power of the county” and centered around the idea that county sheriffs are the highest governmental authority.

Sounds like the "constitutional sheriff" crap that is popping up.
