Bill overview
This bill aims to improve broadband internet access in rural America by expanding the ‘middle mile’ infrastructure program. It modifies the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to extend the timeframe for projects under this program, specifically focusing on investments between 2026 and 2031. The goal is to provide faster and more reliable internet service to underserved rural communities. This expansion seeks to address the digital divide and promote economic development in these areas.
