Wasn't Biden going to build out the broadband infrastructure to reach rural communities? What happened to that project? Did it get DOGEd?
Billions have been given to telecoms for ages to build out infrastructure to rural areas and it always fails. The ISPs say oh its so expensive, we only got this tiny fraction done, and the government nods their heads and gives them billions more when they say theyll do it next time, and the same thing happens over and over.
Yeah, billion$ that got bogged down by state level politics, telecomm company resistance, and lack of Democratic party backbone.
I don't know how much momentum was even left to get DOGE'd.
