CPUC Awards $5.75M in Local Government Broadband Grants

The California Public Utilities Commission awarded $5.75 million in broadband technical assistance grants to 16 local governments, the CPUC said Monday. Each grant from the $50 million state fund is about $500,000 and can be used to reimburse localities for network design services for unserved areas. The CPUC announced grants from the program in October (see 2210210071). Applications may still be submitted, the agency said.
