Expanding Broadband Internet Access in Underserved Rural Areas

This act aims to improve access to high-speed internet in areas where it is currently limited. Through grants to small telecommunications companies, residents in these regions can expect better internet connection quality, facilitating online work, education, and communication. This means a tangible improvement in daily life for many households and businesses.
Key points
Financial support for small businesses to provide high-speed internet in areas with limited access.
Improved internet quality: minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and upload speed of 10 Mbps, with low latency.
Increased competition and availability of internet services in regions currently served by only one provider.
