The FCC is proposing a $220,000 fine against an Ohio man that the
agency said pretended to be a wireless Internet service provider
(WISP) in order to scam low-income Americans.

As noted by Ars Technica, the FCC issued a report detailing the
alleged hoax. The agency said Kyle Traxler created Cleo Communications
to participate in the FCC's Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB)
program. According to the agency's report, Traxler engaged in wire
fraud by accepting payments through the program without providing any
telecom services in return.
