The power of connection is transformative, and for rural communities, the Universal Service Fund (USF) is a key driver of that transformation. I applaud the NTCA's members for highlighting the real-world impact of the USF on rural businesses and residents. It's more than just internet access; it's about leveling the playing field, fostering economic growth, and ensuring that everyone, regardless of location, has access to broadband. So it's crucial to learn how vital programs like the USF are accelerating these initiatives. Without it, the cost of broadband for rural consumers could skyrocket, further widening the digital gap. Let's celebrate the USF and its role in building a more connected, equitable future.

This is great news! The Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP) has the potential to help communities like ours bridge the digital divide. One notable positive difference between TBCP and earlier programs is that it allows funding for first mile (submarine cable landing stations) and middle mile (regional backhaul) as well as last mile (fiber to the premises). That’s essential because there are many places – including the Quinault Indian Nation – where it is a lack of first and/or middle mile connectivity that creates the digital divide. Unfortunately, TBCP still uses the old FCC definition of “broadband” – 25 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 3 Mbps upload. Those speeds are insufficient for many modern applications – a fact recognized by the new funding programs (including BEAD) that require funded projects to deliver 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. https://bit.ly/3vRD3YC
