The Rural 5G Fund would repurpose money from the failed Mobility Fund II program, which was supposed to help expand LTE to areas of the U.S. that do not yet have it, and fund 5G deployments instead.
“The rapid pace of deployment of 5G networks in many parts of the country, combined with T-Mobile’s commitment to cover 90% of rural Americans with its 5G network, suggests that it is no longer time to begin a 10-year support program to deploy 4G LTE networks,” the FCC said in its proposed rulemaking.
