SURG - Yeah, sounds like FCC must have suspicions about some providers doing shady signups. Specifically, "providers using alternate verification processes." In doing some searching, it sounds like up till now service providers could ask the FCC to approve their own alternate verification process and then use that process.
That darn near sounds like self-verification. An ISP could submit a plan detailing the process it's going to use to verify people, and then if the FCC says, "yeah, that sounds like a good process" then that's it? They just accept all signups from the ISP thereafter, no questions asked? That's sort of what it sounds like.
