As a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, today Rep. Randy Feenstra (IA-04) participated in a hearing entitled,
“Rural Broadband Examining Internet Connectivity Needs and Opportunities in Rural America.”
Feenstra has made broadband a top priority since taking office in January, quickly joining the bipartisan Rural Broadband Caucus. In January, Feenstra joined his colleagues in sending a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), urging the commission to ensure their Rural Digital Opportunity Fund was contracting with telecommunications companies that have the necessary technological capabilities to provide Iowans with quality, high-speed internet service.

A Rural Broadband bill has advanced to final reading in the Nebraska Unicameral. The measure brought forward by Senator Bruce Bostelman is supported by the Nebraska Corn Grower’s Association. Executive Director Kelly Brunkhorst says the measure calls for increased availability and funding that is needed in Nebraska.
He says the bill requires that any political subdivision that receives federal funding for broadband service enhancement will be required to provide service scalable to 100 mega bites per second or greater for both upload and download speed.
Brunkhorst says a plan approved under the provisions of the legislation by the Public Service Commission includes a deployment timeline to include periodic milestones and reporting requirements from the telecommunications company providing the broadband service.
