Sens Rosen and Thune Introduce Accurate Map for Broadband Investment Act

US Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and John Thune (R-SD) introduced the Accurate Map for Broadband Investment Act, bipartisan legislation to ensure that the Federal Communications Commission has time to update and fix the  National Broadband Map before the Department of Commerce fully allocates broadband infrastructure funding. This mapping plays a major role in determining the state-by-state allocation of broadband infrastructure funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's (IIJA) $42 billion Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, and the current version of the map could cause many states, including Nevada and South Dakota, to lose out on potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of federal funding they are owed under the law according to the Senators.
