Rural Broadband: No More Duplication of Internet Networks

This act aims to provide high-speed internet access in rural areas that currently lack it. It prohibits funding for new internet network construction in areas where adequate infrastructure already exists, preventing the waste of public funds. This ensures resources are directed where they are most needed, improving residents' quality of life.
Key points
Public funds for internet will only be allocated where high-speed connection is currently unavailable.
Funding for new internet network construction is prohibited if similar infrastructure already operates in the same area.
The goal is to provide internet access to rural residents who currently do not have it.
