Sept. 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has demanded a million-dollar repayment by two U.S. wireless providers for overpayments received through pandemic-era business reimbursement programs set in place by the federal government. "FCC programs are not here to line the pockets of unscrupulous providers," said FCC Chair Brendan Carr. According to the FCC, Boomerang and Assist revised their market value assessments only after a federal integrity review. Assist also allegedly took advantage of both federal programs and owes more than $537,900 between the two ACP and EBB federal WiFi programs during COVID. FCC officials added that Boomerang and Assist have 30 days to repay the U.S. Treasury its full amount of overpaid WiFi reimbursements.
