Recently, the Federal Communications Commission launched the Rural Broadband Experiments – a $100 million funding initiative seeking  proposals that bring advanced telecommunications services to Rural America. Deadline to apply is October 12th 2014. For the first time, cooperatives, municipalities, nonprofits, anchor institutions, and Tribal governments will be able to access federal funding to bring broadband service to rural areas. This is a historic opportunity for entities committed to rural communities. 

On Thursday, August 28th at 1:00pm Eastern, join the Rural Broadband Policy Group and the National Rural Assembly on a webinar featuring Jonathan Chambers from the Office of Strategic Policy and Analysis and Carol Mattey from the Wireline Competition Bureau, to learn about the rules and process to apply for the Rural Broadband Experiments.

JOIN US and learn about how your community, organization, cooperative and local provider can take advantage of this funding opportunity. Read the full Report and Order launching the Rural Broadband Experiments here: http://www.fcc.gov/document/rural-broadband-experiments-order
