A proposed one-time $25 million appropriation for a rural broadband grant program was approved by the Minnesota Senate Tuesday, after being passed by the House last week (CD April 8 p19). The grants, part of a $322 million two-year budget bill, House File-3172 (http://bit.ly/1lFHRBC), would be available to some areas that don’t have access to download speeds of at least 4 Mbps.
