ABOUT BTOP

of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information

Administration (NTIA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural

Utilities Service (RUS) with $7.2 billion to expand access to broadband

services in the United States. Of those funds, the Act provided $4.7

adoption of broadband service, and develop and maintain a nationwide

public map of broadband service capability and availability.
