Key points
Financial support for building and upgrading broadband infrastructure in rural areas.
Minimum internet speed requirement of 100 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload for new projects.
Priority for areas where at least 90% of households lack access to high-speed internet.
Support for providers who offer affordable internet plans, including participation in low-income assistance programs.
Additional funding for loan and grant programs until 2030, with a focus on low-income and out-migrating areas.
