The FCC fixed a typo in its rules for rural internet subsidies


The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) corrected a small error in its rules for a program that subsidizes internet access in rural areas. This means the rules for how telecom companies report their eligibility for these funds are now accurate.
This document is a correction to a previous rule change, not a new rule itself. It fixes a typo in the regulatory text, ensuring that the rules for how internet providers report their eligibility for federal subsidies are correctly written.
