The government is collecting another round of applications for broadband stimulus funds, but it won't go far enough to get broadband to all the people who need it.

You might recall that the total amount earmarked for the broadband stimulus package was $7.2 billion, and that the goal was to bring broadband to people who did not have access and/or to help those who had access available but could not afford it (as opposed to those who simply don't want it). There were more than 2,200 applications for the first round but only a few grants have been awarded and many of those are for fiber to the home.
