Federal Broadband Funding Report: These Agencies Are Funding Internet for All (Part II)

On May 8, 2023, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's Office of Internet Connectivity and Growth released its second annual report on federal broadband funding. The report summarizes and analyzes fiscal year 2021 (FY21— October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021) data collected from across the federal government, including the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund (USF) programs. Over a dozen agencies provided data to NTIA for the report. Last week we examined the programs at the FCC and the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Treasury. Here we look at smaller federal programs that can impact universal broadband.
