Quotable

“We are profoundly disappointed that Treasury’s final rule lacks the proper guidance and constraints needed to ensure that federal funds are used efficiently and for their intended purpose. As history has demonstrated, absent such constraint, there remains a significant risk that taxpayer money will be wasted in areas where broadband infrastructure already exists and those without access to quality broadband service will not receive the full measure of needed assistance. The final SLFRF rule increases the risk of overbuilding existing broadband investments… We urge you to ensure that SLFRF funds are focused on truly unserved areas to maximize the benefit to those Americans currently without broadband service.”

– Sens Roger Wicker (R-MS), John Thune (R-SD) and nine of their colleagues in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen criticizing the final rule for broadband infrastructure funding through the Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds
