What the agency says
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) has long recognized that rural and high-cost areas of Alaska are some of the hardest and most costly to serve in the country, with many residents lacking access to high-quality, affordable broadband that maintains parity with the technological advances that consumers living elsewhere in the nation enjoy. In this document, the Commission takes important and necessary steps to ensure continued support for the advancement of modern mobile and fixed broadband service in Alaska.
