FCC program funds broadband expansion in Pennsylvania

J.D. Prose, USA TODAY Network - PA State Capitol Bureau A Federal Communications Commission announcement earlier this week that nearly $369 million would be allocated to expand high-speed broadband access in Pennsylvania was just the latest development in the effort to give rural residents better internet service. The FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I would help an estimated 327,000 Pennsylvanians in nearly 185,000 unserved homes and businesses over the next 10 years. During that span, about $9.2 billion will be spent on similar broadband programs nationwide. Bids were taken from broadband providers in an auction-like process for projects in every county except for Northampton. Thirteen companies were chosen as bid winners in Pennsylvania.
