So the money was turned over to Big Tech in order to further the cause of censoring conservative voices throughout the internet and continue mass surveillance. Money theft and liberals goes hand in hand. Look at all the stolen money from the Obama days. Think Solyndra and go from there to yellow cake and AIG bank bailouts.
Please note FCC commissioner hits Biden admin for $42 billion in unspent high speed internet funds
The senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is blaming the Biden administration for a lack of high-speed internet projects that were approved under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, comparing the situation to the dearth of electric vehicle charging stations that were also supposed to be built with the funds.
“There’s no question that the 2021 law put some process in place, but the Biden administration decided to layer on top of that a Byzantine additional set of hoops that states have to go through before the administration will approve them to actually get these funds and start completing the builds,” Carr told FOX Business in an interview.
Carr acknowledged that some high-speed internet projects have connected people during the Biden administration, but he said none of them have been funded by the $42.5 billion allocation from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, which was the administration’s signature broadband initiative.
But there has been funding for capacity building, meaning staffing, consultants, studies, commissions. I could not find details beyond general statements so I don't know how much. But what you typically see in Blue states (and some Red ones) is that they are ready to go to take that funding with staff and plans etc. This is 'best practice' in the administrative state, worshipping and fetishizing process. Nothing is linear. This is a link to an overview of the 'process' as it stands today, lol. This is a perfect example of the insane complexity of 'Big Government'. https://broadbandusa.ntia.doc.gov/funding-programs/broadband-equity-access-and-deployment-bead-program
As an Asian female, I know, (with eyes rolling) .... A lot of Asians are achieving high grades, then climb the career ladders, just to satisfy their parents' need to brag about having successful / prominent children to other Asian parents.
The assistance to seniors expired with no effort to renew the program. I assume illegal aliens registering to vote multiple times is more worthy of Federal funds than assisting legal, voting citizens.
Obama left the WH with 12-15 million more than he entered. Clintons spirited the "global
initiative" which vacuumed $200M (foreign money) into their grasp. Pelosi has conflicted interests in her stock transactions(inside), and now Biden has close to $50M in Chinese, Ukrainian, and other
persuasive party interests supporting Hunter, Jill, and him! Where is Commie Kamala's fair share?
This was such an obvious fraud from the get go. There was never any chance the Dems were going to provide high speed internet to the Trump supporting hinterlands. As stated elsewhere, this bait and switch was orchestrated to slip funds to their blackshirt internet censorship network.
The type of "shovel-ready jobs" we really need are the ones to bury these bad Democrat ideas. Yet they keep coming back, over and over again, to recycle federal money to the people who will keep voting them into office.
Note the 'magic' words in what they managed to get done. "Capacity" building and 'equity . This means hiring Dem/Leftists as employees or consultants, creating commissions and committees etc. And since it's about equity, you can guarantee that minorities will be the majority of employees and consultants. Same for any vendors these commissions and committees need to buy from - all subjected to racial preferences, whether formal or not. For the Left, they have accomplished their goal - fully Marxifying this effort. Whether more people have internet access by now is secondary.
The Democrat’s archenemy #1 Elon Musk has solved the problem with his Starlink system. Of course they hate Musk due to his success and his support of X as an unfiltered place to exchange ideas that would disappear on Facebook.

Were did the money go? Does anyone actually know ?
I can tell you seniors received a $25 credit on their internet bill. I also assume big tech and NGOs received a lot of money,
I got no credit on my bill.
This was supposed to be INFRASTRUCTURE not current expenses.
No evidence that a dime has gone to 'Big Tech'. Looks like it's gone to states and locals for 'capacity building', see my comment upthread on this.

We all know, and if you don't, you should familiarize yourself with the fact that Kamala is
about as worthless as Teats on a Bull! And probably not as intelligent!
Don't think I need to say any more!

Should just given the money to Musk. Everyone on the planet would have internet by now.

Has that money also been spent paying for the illegals? How can the constituents find out where those $$$ went?

For those really in the dark how about making a deal with Elon for StarLink service for the cost of internet in the big city
The Democrat’s archenemy #1 Elon Musk has solved the problem with his Starlink system. Of course they hate Musk due to his success and his support of X as an unfiltered place to exchange ideas that would disappear on Facebook.
And the hits just keep on coming
Where's the money, and how was it spent?
So we now know why Obama jumped on board, cos she’s proving to be another useful idiot…he just needed some reassurance.
