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.
