Yesterday, The House approved a FY2010 supplemental appropriations measure in the form passed by the Senate last week, which eliminated previous House amendments that would have rescinded $302 million in BROP funding and $300 million in BIP funding.

The vote leaves intact the full $7.2 billion in broadband grants and loans funding authorized by the ARRA. The House’s action sends the bill to the White House for the president’s signature.

This shows a continuing commitment to rural broadband, and given the other legislation moving through committee shows that the voice of rural America is being heard. Keep it up! Keep talking to your congressmen and congresswomen.
