The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved information collection associated with the Connect America Fund rules. These rules are part of an effort to support broadband internet development in areas with high costs. Carriers receiving support must now report their broadband network performance, including speed and latency, quarterly rather than annually. The revised requirements, which focus on ensuring carriers comply with performance standards, are in effect from February 24, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants internet companies to tell them how fast and reliable their internet is, four times a year, to make sure everyone can get good internet.
