- 42 grants to expand its broadband network in 20 states at a combined project cost of $123.5M. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, TDS Telecom submitted 46 applications in the second round of the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) in March 2010. On August 4th, 18th and 19th, TDS Telecom received notification that the RUS approved funding for 42 of these applications and will receive $92.6M in federal grants while providing $30.9M of its own funds to complete the projects. These projects will provide service to over 24,000 unserved households. These awards follow TDS Telecom’s earlier success in round one of the BIP program where it received $12.5 million in grants to expand its broadband networks in Michigan and Alabama to over 1,400 households. TDS Telecom will have up to 3 years to complete construction of these networks, which will require more than 1,000 miles of fiber to be laid in trenches. As with the first round projects in Alabama and Michigan, construction will begin after TDS Telecom and the RUS execute contracts for each project (in about 60-90 days), complete engineering and site visits, and the RUS completes environmental and historical preservation assessments for each project. The four remaining applications that have not been approved are for $9.5M in grants for a combined project cost of $12.6M. We remain optimistic that these applications will be approved as the RUS continues its work to meet the September 30, 2010 statutory deadline requiring the agency to distribute all $2.6B in federal broadband stimulus funding under their jurisdiction.
