But the bill's provisions are indeed important, perhaps even hugely so. Three in particular are worth talking about. The first aims to fund the build out of high-speed Internet in unreached parts of the U.S. to the tune of about $6 billion. The second maps where in the U.S. broadband is available. And the third is Network Neutrality.
