§ 2702. Declaration of policy
Currentness
The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:
(1) The purpose of this act is to facilitate the deployment of high-speed broadband service infrastructure in unserved areas of this Commonwealth.
(2) The economic and business incentives to deploy high-speed broadband service infrastructure may be insufficient to ensure full access to high-speed broadband services in low-density, rural locations and other areas of this Commonwealth where the unit costs of providing service may not provide an adequate return on investment for private companies.
(3) Access to high-speed broadband services in unserved areas of this Commonwealth will enhance economic development, education, health care and emergency services in this Commonwealth.
(4) Establishing a grant program to facilitate the deployment of high-speed broadband services infrastructure in unserved areas will further these objectives through new private sector investments and is in the policy interest of this Commonwealth.
