Public Notice

The document attached hereto, is an application for acceptance into a grant awards project, that, in effect, would provide for the reimbursement of specific equipment costs, incurred by residents of the contiguous United States, who reside in those areas that have been designated to be specifically under-exposed to the reception of, but not limited to, cable driven high speed broadband internet service.
