Bill overview
The Rural Broadband Acceleration Act aims to speed up the deployment of high-speed internet in rural areas by modifying the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction. It requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to accept long-form applications before the auction begins and to create detailed broadband service maps. The bill also includes provisions to incentivize applicants to commit to Gigabit performance service and to hold them accountable for meeting deployment timelines. Failure to meet these commitments could result in the revocation of funding.
