President Biden approved $42 billion in funding to close the digital divide, but protests from powerful ISPs can prevent small communities from accessing that money.
Yes. What I’ve heard is that this is very common, it’s happening everywhere. But the reason I wrote about this situation in East Carroll was really, first of all, the sort of inspiring story of the grassroots movement there, and also the peculiar nature of the 11th-hour protest. These protests are very common, but they are happening over the course of months. They’re happening shortly after applications go out.
We’re talking about $4 million here in East Carroll, but there’s about to be $42 billion on the table for states to invest in broadband infrastructure. So yes, this is happening all the time, but it’s going to get a lot worse. It’s going to get a lot more ferocious. And it’s really time for states to start thinking about the possibility that this is in the playbook and writing rules to defend against it.There are a lot of East Carrolls across America.
