Show full summary
  • Rural households would target faster internet if projects win grants. Grant-eligible service would need at least 100 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream, while local-area targets rise to 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up.
  • Local providers and applicants would gain flexibility when defining eligible areas. Areas can include future broadband that is covered by enforceable deployment commitments from other federal programs.
  • Program timing and rules would last longer. The bill updates the program's applicable date from 2023 to 2030, extending the window for these grant rules to apply.

Higher speed and eligibility rules for rural grants

If enacted, this bill would update who counts as underserved for rural broadband grants. Areas with less than 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload would qualify. Another rule would rise from 10 to 25 Mbps down and from 1 to 3 Mbps up. The bill would make clear the program applies to a rural area. Areas with an enforceable broadband build commitment under another federal program could also count when grants are awarded, to coordinate funding. These changes would take effect upon enactment.

More time for rural broadband grants

If enacted, this bill would move a program date to 2030. Applicants would have more years to seek Community Connect grants. Rural areas and providers would get more time to plan projects. The change would take effect upon enactment.
