The CEO of the American Soybean Association, Steve Censky, says they strongly support the bipartisan infrastructure bill in Congress which has a LOT of funding for broadband.
“I think it was $65-Billion for broadband which is needed,” Censky says. “I mean, USDA has been investing with their Reconnect program. The FCC has had around $10-Billion for rural America, I believe it was. But this would be a significant bump up.”
Censky, a Trump administration USDA official, says the current funding pace won’t solve the rural broadband problem.
