AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change and extend the Community Connect Grant Program, a federal program under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 that funds broadband internet in underserved areas. It would require broadband service funded by the program to reach at least 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds. It would limit eligible service areas to rural areas without service of at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, up from 10 Mbps and 1 Mbps. It would count future broadband service already promised under another funding program when reviewing grant applications. It would extend the program's funding authorization from 2023 through 2030.
