What the document says“the applicant's history of complying with requirements in Commission and other government broadband deployment funding programs”
The second thing the Commission is to evaluate a proposal against. It reaches beyond the Commission's own programs to other government broadband deployment funding programs, and it is the applicant's history of complying with the requirements of those programs that is weighed. The section does not say how far back that history runs or what weight it carries.

The FCC must also look at what the person did before. Did they follow the rules in past internet funding programs?
Some who ask have taken money like this before. Some took it from other parts of the government. Both records count now. The law does not say how far back to look.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
