Over $42 billion and 3 years later, Biden's rural high-speed internet plan hasn't connected a single home

"In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest."

The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program is a federal grant program administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration that supposedly "aims to get all Americans online by funding partnerships between states or territories, communities, and stakeholders to build infrastructure where we need it to and increase adoption of high-speed internet. BEAD prioritizes unserved locations that have no internet access or that only have access under 25/3 Mbps."

"The Biden Admin's failure to turn even a single shovel's worth of dirt with this $42.45B is not just predictable, it was predicted," continued Carr, referencing an Aug. 18, 2022, letter from a number of U.S. senators, which indicated the initiative might be ill-fated.
