Provides funding for internet infrastructure in rural areas between cities.
The problem
Rural communities lack high-speed internet access. Internet networks exist in cities but don't reach between cities to rural areas.
The proposal
The bill funds construction of internet infrastructure in the 'middle mile' gaps connecting rural communities to existing city networks.
The impact
Rural residents and businesses gain internet access. Broadband providers receive funding support. Taxpayers fund the infrastructure project.
Rural Americans could get high-speed internet for work, school, and healthcare. This closes the digital divide between cities and countryside.
Businesses in rural areas could expand online. Workers could access remote jobs. Young people might stay in rural communities instead of moving to cities.
Students could access online learning resources. Patients could use telemedicine. Rural schools and clinics could use digital tools.
Farmers could use technology for precision farming and market information. Rural communities depend heavily on agriculture.
Taxpayers fund the infrastructure project. Costs could be significant for building internet networks across large rural areas.
Once built, internet infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance and upgrades. Long-term costs may burden communities or government.
Government-funded projects might compete with private broadband companies. This could reduce private investment in rural internet.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
