Broadband Initiatives
Pennsylvania is home to one of the country’s most aggressive broadband deployment commitments: by 2015, and as early as 2008, every city, town and village will have access to broadband service, even in the most rural areas. Commonwealth Administered Act 183 programs:
- Consumers & Communities - Communities can apply for grant funding to help aggregate the demand for broadband service. Broadband Outreach & Aggregation Fund (BOAF) guidelines have now been published. Download here.
- Businesses - Find out about a unique business attraction and retention program to help build the telecommunications infrastructure, or to help your business get broadband.
- Bona Fide Retail Request Program (BFRR): This consists of a program offered by participating telecommunications providers in order to attract and aggregate requests for services.
