Broadband Internet Access and the Digital Divide: Federal Assistance Programs


Legislation introduced in the 110th Congress seeks to provide federal financial assistance for broadband deployment in the form of grants, loans, subsidies, and tax credits. Of particular note is the reauthorization and reform of the Rural Utilities Service broadband loan program, which was enacted as part of the 2008 farm bill (P.L. 110-234). Legislation to reform universal service - which could impact the amount of financial assistance available for broadband deployment in rural areas - has been introduced (H.R. 42, H.R. 2054, H.R. 3428, H.R. 6320, H.R. 6356, S. 101, S. 711), as well as other broadband legislation (H.R. 1818, H.R. 2035, H.R. 2174, H.R. 2272, H.R. 2419, H.R. 2569, H.R. 2720, H.R. 2764, H.R. 2953, H.R. 3246, H.R. 3281, H.R. 3627, H.R. 3893, H.R. 3919, H.R. 5682, S. 541, S. 761, S. 1032, S. 1190, S. 1264, S. 1439, S. 1492, S. 2242, S. 2302).
