New Test Equipment including fusion splicer’s, OTDR’s, Power Meters and other products, could severely cut into your profits from the project.

$7 Billion to go to Improving Broadband Access

With the latest stimulus package being approved it is no surprise that 7 billion dollars will go to expanding the net’s reach to rural areas. To date many areas are not able to receive broadband internet access. President Obama has and Congress have changed that for the better. How the money is to be spent is as follows:

Of the $7 billion, the National Telecommunications and Information Administrationwill get $4.7 billion to be distributed via grants aimed at increasing broadband adoption, improving broadband deployment in unserved and under-served areas, bettering access to broadband by public safety agencies. In addition, it will serve to stimulate the economy by creating IT-related jobs. The remaining $2.5 billion will go to the Rural Utilities Service that connects rural Americans to broadband.

An additional $350 million goes toward the Broadband Data Improvement Act for mapping and community initiatives, with a minimum of $250 million for various programs that stimulate broadband adoption, and at least $200 million to expand public computer center capacity in libraries and community colleges.

Last but not the least, the FCC is required to submit a report to Congress detailing how a national broadband plan will ensure broadband access for all Americans. Also, everyone can see how this money is being spent at the newly setup site Recovery.gov. It details federal spending state-by-state with more detailed information available over the coming weeks and months, as the funds start to go out. (Christian Zibreg).
