Broadband Projects in Colusa and Plumas Counties awarded $11 million

On Thursday, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) awarded over $11 million in high-speed broadband infrastructure grants from the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) to project awardees in rural counties.  The CASF provides financial grants, funded by customer surcharges, to qualified service providers for broadband service in unserved or underserved areas.  Collectively, these grants will service 740 unserved households in Colusa and Plumas counties, as well as a new housing project in the City of Santa Rosa.  The CPUC press release is available here.  RCRC remains actively engaged in legislative and regulatory efforts for broadband access and infrastructure in rural communities.  For more information, please contact Tracy Rhine at trhine@rcrcnert.org.
