The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved new rules for how information must be collected about the Connect America Fund. This approval allows these rules to be effective from February 28, 2025. The FCC requires certain telecommunications companies to report where they have provided broadband services, using a special web portal. This data helps ensure that these companies are using government support as intended and makes the information accessible to the public for accountability and transparency.
Simple Explanation
The FCC says they've set up new rules so internet companies must share where they provide service, helping everyone see if they're using government support the right way.
