Broadband Initiatives 2009
In February 2009, President Barack Obama signed landmark legislation into effect which has created tremendous opportunity for companies to deploy telephony (broadband) services into rural America. This sets out to be multi-faceted by creating new jobs (i.e. engineering, marketing, fiber deployment, construction, management, accounting, legal) by offering opportunities to the American heartland to have similar telephony services and major cities. Combinations of local, VoIP, IPtv and high speed internet access will flourish as a direct result of this additional federal funding. Under this new Stimulus package known as ARRA, $2.5 Billion dollars has been allocated for broadband in rural America.

As in innovator in the telecommunications arena, ISG-Telecom has created a grant/loan application division by which it will assist applicants in getting approval of their share of these government funds for these types of deployments.
The stimulus Act is available for reading. http://isg-telecom.com/ARRA.pdf
