Rural Telecommunications Enhancement Act

The Rural Telecommunications Enhancement Act (H.R. 2669) was designed to expand high-speed internet access in rural communities across the United States. The bill would have authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to provide loans and grants to public and private organizations to build, upgrade, and operate broadband infrastructure in underserved areas. For citizens living in these regions, the legislation aimed to bridge the digital divide by improving the availability and reliability of modern telecommunications services for homes and businesses.
