The FCC Monday (June 10) announced the second wave of funding for rural broadband stemming from its CAF (Connect America Fund) II auction for Universal Service Fund broadband subsidies.



That wave comprises $166.8 million for rural service to 60,850 homes in 22 states, which follows the $116.6 million in the first tranche for 37,148 homes in a dozen states, announced in May.
