Congressional

The group serves as a discussion forum to craft and advocate for policies that support the continued flow of funds through the Universal Service Fund to support the needs of anchor institutions and their surrounding communities.

January Meeting Summary

The Congressional policy group discussed recent efforts to assess use of screen time by children (including use of technology in schools), including NTIA’s listening session and the Senate’s hearing. We also looked into recent bills regarding the use of non-deployment funds under the BEAD program, and whether they allow for opportunities to address broadband affordability and adoption.
