I can’t promise to keep up on broadband-related legislation daily, but I will at least aim for weekly. Here’s what I found this week:

HF 2381: Broadband grant application process amended, report required, and money appropriated.
Authors: Baker ; Kresha on 1/29/2016
I wrote more extensively on this earlier – the proposed changes are $35 million for broadband grants to 60% unserved areas and 40% underserved, also requesting more reporting on grants.

Relates to offing call blocking services and more information on what those service do and don’t block.
