While rural broadband is a popular topic, most individual bills like this struggle to pass on their own and are usually folded into larger packages like the Farm Bill.

Key Points

  • This bill extends a federal grant program that helps bring high-speed internet to rural communities that currently lack it. It keeps the program running through the year 2030.
  • It raises the bar for what counts as high-speed internet. To get a grant, the new network must be able to provide download speeds of at least 100 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps.
  • The bill changes which areas can apply for help. It targets rural places where current internet speeds are slower than 25 Mbps for downloading and 3 Mbps for uploading.
  • It also ensures that the government does not fund projects in areas where another program has already promised to build a high-speed network in the future.
