Washington, D.C. - Rep. French Hill (AR-02) named the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the latest recipient of his Golden Fleece Award for its delayed release of broadband maps.
"In March 2020, Arkansans were told that the FCC could 'radically improve' their broadband maps within a couple of months but here we are, eighteen months later, being told that we have another year to go," said Rep. Hill. "The FCC is offering no explanation for the delay, a timeline for completion, or even how the broadband maps will be developed. Central Arkansans and rural Americans should not be on the FCC's backburner, and the FCC needs to prioritize the new broadband maps."
