Rural Broadband Experiments
The FCC has announced availability of a round of funding for rural broadband experiments. The grant funding, which includes 10 years of recurring operating subsidies, comes from the Universal Service Fund and is available in certain "price cap" areas. The City of Gustavus' broadband technical consultant is investigating whether Gustavus is eligible.

Middle Mile Update 
The City of Gustavus has made contact with potential middle mile partners but has not yet begun to discuss possible projects. 

Next Steps 
  • Determine how the FCC funding affects Gustavus
  • Discuss middle mile with potential partners
