   Mississippi asks FCC to investigate AT&T's "pattern of submitting false   
   data."   
      
   By Jon Brodkin   
      
   AT&T falsely told the US government that it met its obligation to deploy   
   broadband at more than 133,000 locations in Mississippi, state officials   
   say.   
      
   Since 2015, AT&T has received over $283 million from the Federal   
   Communications Commission's Connect America Fund to expand its network   
   in Mississippi. But the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) said   
   it has evidence that AT&T's fixed-wireless broadband is not available to   
   all the homes and businesses where AT&T claims it offers service. The   
   PSC asked the FCC to conduct "a complete compliance audit" of AT&T's   
   claim that it has met its obligation.
