Rural vs. Nonrural Awards
As discussed in the section above on rural versus nonrural applications, broadband infrastructure
applications submitted to BIP-only or to both BIP and BTOP can be classified as "rural,"8 while
broadband infrastructure applications submitted to BTOP-only can be classified as "nonrural."
Table 8 shows the number of projects and funds awarded for all infrastructure projects, BIP
projects, and BIP-BTOP projects. Based on the classification of BIP and BIP-BTOP projects as
"rural," the data show that 81 % of all funded infrastructure projects are "rural," and that 70% of
infrastructure federal funding has been awarded to rural projects. To date, all funded last mile
projects were submitted to BIP (and are therefore rural). On the other hand, 44% of funded
middle mile projects can be classified as nonrural (submitted to BTOP only), and 55% of middle
mile federal funding has been awarded to nonrural projects.
8 According to the first round NOFA, all infrastructure projects proposing to serve an area at least 75% rural were
required to submit to BTP or to BTP and BTOP jointly. All applications proposing to serve an area less than 75% rural
were required to submit to BTOP only.Congressional Research Service8
