There's also doubt around the FCC's data, suggesting fewer people have access to high-speed internet than the Commission lets on. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched the Precision Ag Connectivity Task Force to support the roll-out of broadband to unconnected farms and ranches. The task force will work with the Department of Agriculture, as well as private and public stakeholders. Earlier this year, the FCC agreed to a $166.8m investment to expand broadband in rural areas. “Rural America is one of our nation’s most underserved areas, but we are working hard to make sure that everyone can access high-speed broadband,” said FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
