Broadband spending trimmed in stimulus compromise
Spending cuts are the theme of the Senate’s compromise draft of legislation meant to inject cash into a flagging economy. Those include a $2 billion reduction in money for rural broadband deployment, bringing the total down to $7 billion—though that’s still more than the $6 billion allocated for broadband in the House version of the bill.
There’s also disagreement about who will control whatever funds are allocated: the original Senate language puts the money in the hands of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, but some Senators prefer the House bill’s strategy of splitting the cash between NTIA and the Department of Agriculture. All of this leaves the prospects for this spending, which still faces a House-Senate reconciliation, very uncertain.
