Expanding Broadband Access for Local Communities
This act aims to make it easier for local governments, public-private partnerships, and cooperatives to provide high-speed internet. This means more people, especially in rural areas, can get reliable internet access, supporting education, remote work, and online services.
Key points
State and local governments, and cooperatives, can freely offer high-speed internet services without state-level prohibitions.
Fair rules are ensured for all internet providers to prevent favoritism towards public entities.
The act seeks to increase competition and internet availability, potentially lowering prices and improving service quality for citizens.
