FCC Raises Definition of Broadband Internet Speed
The FCC has updated its definition of ‘broadband’ internet speed to require download speeds of 100 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20 megabits per second, a significant increase from the previous standard. This decision aims to bridge the digital divide and expand access to high-speed internet across the United States, but challenges remain as nearly 28 percent of Americans in rural areas still lack access to the newly defined broadband speeds.
FCC Seeks Input on Amnesty Period for Internet Service Providers
The Federal Communications Commission’s Wireline Competition Bureau is seeking input on a proposed ‘amnesty period’ for internet service providers who may default on their deployment commitments under funding awards received through the FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund or Connect America Fund Auctions. This proposal could potentially allow ISPs to relinquish funded areas without facing full default penalties and make those areas eligible for funding under states’ Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Programs.
