The goal of the new fund is to make broadband speeds of at least 4 Mb/s downstream available to virtually all U.S. homes within the next 10 years.
But two things are clear (at least in my mind) – 1) the USF will evolve and change; and 2) it will no longer be the sole domain of rural telcos.
We have learned that the CAF will call for minimum broadband downstream speeds of 4 Mbps.
