NTCA-the Rural Broadband Association praised Congress for passing the farm bill this week. CEO Shirley Bloomfield expressed pleasure the bill would provide for the Department of Agriculture’s Broadband Loan Program. “This program provides support that small, community-based telecommunications providers have put to good use serving the highest-cost and hardest-to-serve pockets of rural America with access to broadband services that help ensure economic success,” Bloomfield said in a statement Wednesday.
