The Florida Rural Broadband Alliance LLC, abbreviated FRBA, is a limited liability corporation established to deploy broadband Internet services in rural parts of Florida. It is funded by a grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the federal stimulus bill, in an effort to provide high-speed Internet access to 15 Florida counties. ==History== FRBA was first created in March 2010 by two nonprofit economic development corporations: Florida's Heartland Regional Economic Development Initiative, or REDI, in south central Florida, and Opportunity Florida in northwest Florida. FRBA encompasses 15 Florida counties and communities -- Holmes, Washington, Jackson, Gadsden, Calhoun, Liberty, Gulf, Franklin, Hardee, DeSoto, Highlands, Okeechobee, Glades, and Hendry counties as well as the community of Immokalee. The initial goal was to win a federal grant under the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and deploy a middle mile broadband transport network in underserved rural areas of Florida. FRBA applied for a $24 million grant through the program in mid-2010, winning the grant later that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florida Rural Broadband Alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
