Delaying the Trump administration in the 90 -day rural domain program

Republicans have not passed many opportunities to criticize the broad stock, access and publishing stock program (Bead) to start its slow operation during the past few years. And now they add 90 days of delay.

In a notice that was sent to the bold offices today, the National Communications and Information Administration (NTIA) gave states a blanket Extension 90 days To submit their final proposals to the mutations of the bead. The reason for the notification is “improving efficiency, taking a more neutral approach to technology, lowering unnecessary red tape and publishing.”

“Neutral technology” is the main phrase here. Bead has been written to determine the priorities of fiber networks, but its bases are expected to turn on the satellite internet.

The only satellite provider that will currently qualify is Elon Musk’s Starlink.

“With all aspects, transferring money towards Starlink,” Dro Garner, director of politics at the Bentone Institute for broadcasting and society, told CNET.

Since Trump took office, the countries were preparing for Huge changes on a pillIt was issued as part of the Investment and Infrastructure Law for the year 2021. Trade Minister Howard Lootnick plans to take a “neutral technology” approach to the beads, according to the beads, according to the beads, according to the beads, according to the “neutral technology” approach to the beads, according to the beads, according to the “neutral technology” approach to the beads, according to the “neutral technology” of beads, according to the “neutral technology” of beads. Posted in March by the Wall Street Journal. Starlink is expected to get up to $ 20 billion in financing under the new Lutnick bases – an increase of $ 4.1 billion that was scheduled to obtain it previously.

Brian Allenby, the first manager of the Mine State Communication Authority, said his office was in a contract pattern since Lootnick referred to imminent changes to the program.

“We are ready to go,” Allenby told CNET. “It is clear that the Internet service providers are ready to go.

During the four -year Bead operation, the fibers have always been the northern star. It is the fastest and most technical in the future, but it is also the most expensive than the satellite-especially in very remote areas. This is where technologies such as Starlink were supposed to fill the gap as a “alternative technique” in areas where no other provider was providing an offer to provide a service that meets the requirements for speed and cumin in Bead.

It should be noted that Starlink has not proven that it could meet those requirements themselves – which is likely to change with the next base changes in Bead. Newest Data from OKla It shows that Starlink speeds are about 79 MB per second, which is much lower than 100 MB per second required by a pill. (Disclosure: OKla owned by the mother company itself as CNET, Zif Davis.)

Until recently, this is often left Starlink outside the madness of the bead feeding. Musk He said on x In June, “bead” is an obscene waste of taxpayer money and is completely failing to serve the needy people.

The wide range of domain experts with whom I spoke is that it is irony that the reason for the delay for 90 days is to accelerate the process.

“I can’t imagine anything less simplified than delaying the bureaucracy for 90 days, as there is mainly in the states that you only do to wait to hear the new rules that they will have to adapt to,” Garner said.
