The Broadband Program, a loan program designed specifically to increase the rate of deployment of technology to small towns in rural areas, has enabled RUS to step beyond its traditional definition of rural (towns of 5,000 or less), and fund borrowers serving communities of up to 20,000 inhabitants.  The Rural Broadband Access Loan Program is designed to provide loans for funding the costs of construction, improvement and acquisition of facilities and equipment to provide broadband services to eligible rural communities.  The Program’s goal is to ensure that rural consumers enjoy the same range of high-quality, affordable, and advanced telecommunications services that are available in urban and suburban communities.
