§2370.9. Compliance during the agreement
The office shall require that grant recipients offer the proposed advertised minimum
download and minimum upload speeds of twenty-five Mbps download and three Mbps
upload. Grant recipients that have offered broadband service to at least one thousand
consumers for a period of at least five consecutive years shall offer broadband service at
prices consistent with offers to consumers in other areas of the state. Any other broadband
provider shall ensure that the broadband service is priced to consumers at no more than the
cost rate identified in the project application, for the duration of the five-year service
agreement. In calculating cost, the recipient may adjust annually, consistent with the annual
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index in the preceding year. At least annually,
a grant recipient shall provide to the office evidence consistent with Federal Communications
Commission attestation that the grant recipient is making available the proposed advertised
speed, or a faster speed, as contained in the grant agreement. For the duration of the
agreement, grant recipients shall disclose any changes to data caps. The office may require
that grant recipients submit, no more than quarterly, a report for each funded project for the
duration of the agreement.
