EXHIBIT F PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT On August 3, 2018, Mega Acquisition Holdings, Inc., and Mega Acquisition Corp., both indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Mega Broadband Investments Holdings LLC (collectively “Mega”), and Northland Telecommunications Corporation (“Northland”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Mega will acquire the equity interests of Northland and assume control of Northland and its subsidiaries, including the Licensee (such acquisition, the “Transaction”). The Transaction will result in the transfer of control of the Licensee, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Northland. This Transaction will provide Northland and the Licensee with new equity holders and a new infusion of capital. Northland, through its operating subsidiaries, currently provides video, voice and data services in a competitive marketplace. The Transaction will serve the public interest by ensuring that Northland has the resources necessary to continue delivering high- quality and innovative services to consumers. The Transaction is an indirect transfer of control at the parent company level. In other words, the Transaction will simply substitute Northland’s existing equity holders with new equity investors. The Transaction does not introduce new operating entities, nor does it involve a change in systems or networks. Further, it is currently anticipated that Northland’s management team will continue to oversee day to day operations after the Transaction. As a result, the Transaction will be entirely seamless to existing customers, who will continue to receive the same high-quality communications services to customers without interruption. Significantly, the Transaction will not reduce the number of competitors in the marketplace. Further, neither Mega nor its principal investors currently provide any competing service or hold an attributable interest in any service provider that competes with Northland in any relevant market. Therefore, the Transaction does not pose any anticompetitive threat in connection with any communications service. Accordingly, this Transaction will serve the public interest by preserving and enhancing Northland’s strengths and resources, without undermining competition, and without affecting the high-level of service offered to existing customers. DC: 6802646-1
