    The USDA’s ReConnect Program is providing $667 million in grants and
    loans for broadband projects in 22 states and the Marshall Islands in
    areas that lack access to speeds of at least 100Mbps down and 20Mbps up. Recipients of this funding will be required to build out infrastructure
    capable of providing upload and download speeds of 100Mbps, surpassing
    the Federal Communications Commission’s current speed minimums of 25Mbps
    down and 3Mbps up.
