FCC Approves Obama Administration Rural Broadband Plan

Obama and his administration desire to increase broadband high-speed internet access to rural Americans. The new rules modify the Universal Service Fund originally created during Bill Clinton's administration. This fund comes from taxes on phone lines and currently brings in around $8 Billion a year. The fund will be divided into two parts. First, covering mobile and broadband service to areas currently not serviced by private business. Second, expansion of internet access. The majority of funds will focus on expanding mobile and broadband coverage. For more details head over to Homes-In-Sugar-Land.
