Expanding High-Speed Internet Access for Tribal Communities
This act aims to improve high-speed internet access for Tribal communities. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must open a new priority window for Tribes to apply for licenses in the 2.5 GHz band, which will help build and expand broadband networks in their areas. This can provide residents in these areas with better access to education, remote work, and digital services.
Key points
The FCC must establish a new 2.5 GHz Tribal priority window within 30 days of the act's enactment.
Tribes will have at least 180 days to submit applications for unused frequencies.
The act streamlines the process by waiving certain procedural requirements to expedite internet access.
