The bill requires the FCC to distribute matching grants for state-led, public-private partnership projects connecting areas to broadband infrastructure where internet service is not available above a certain speed. As part of these projects, the bill also requires the FCC to award grants for digital-literacy programs and public-service campaigns designed to increase adoption of broadband internet access and service.
