In 2021, @VP Harris agreed to lead the Administration’s signature effort to expand Internet infrastructure. Congress then provided $42 billion for the work.
It’s now been 9️⃣8️⃣7️⃣ days since the plan was enacted &
0️⃣ Americans have been connected

It gets worse.
In 2020, Starlink won an FCC award to quickly & efficiently offer Internet to 642,000 homes & businesses.
But the FCC revoked that award in 2023.
The revocation hit states like Pennsylvania particularly hard b/c it had 59,200 locations covered by the award.
The 2023 Commission decision to revoke the Starlink award only came after the Administration gave agencies the green light to go over Musk.
The government’s approach to broadband infrastructure should be guided by smart policies not partisan score settling.

Pennsylvania alone is supposed to be getting $1.16 billion of the $42B based on needing to extend Internet to 278,536 unserved homes and business.
But not one of those locations have been connected with these dollars.
There’s still time to correct course & start connecting communities.
Begin by eliminating the DEI mandates, dropping the climate change agenda, reversing the unlawful technology bias, and cutting out the layers of needless red tape added on by the Biden-Harris Administration.
