Broadband Initiatives

Pennsylvania is home to the country’s most aggressive broadband deployment commitments. By 2015, and as early as 2008, every city, town and village will have access to broadband service – even in the most rural areas.

Commonwealth Administered Act 183 Programs:

• Broadband Outreach & Aggregation Fund (BOAF) – Organizations can apply for grant funding to help aggregate the demand for broadband service.
• Business Attraction or Retention Program (BARP) – Find out about a unique program established as a mechanism to accelerate deployment of broadband to qualified businesses for the purpose of economic development.
• Bona Fide Retail Request Program (BFRR) – This consists of a program offered by participating telecommunications providers in order to attract and aggregate requests for services.

To inquire about Act 183 programs, please contact Broadband@NewPa.com.
