<< Previous TITLE 47 / CHAPTER 12 / § 1302 Next >>
47 USC 1302: Advanced telecommunications incentives Text contains those laws in effect on December 12, 2019
From Title 47-TELECOMMUNICATIONSCHAPTER 12-BROADBAND
§1302. Advanced telecommunications incentives
The Commission shall, within 30 months after February 8, 1996, and annually thereafter, initiate a notice of inquiry concerning the availability of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms) and shall complete the inquiry within 180 days after its initiation. In the inquiry, the Commission shall determine whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion. If the Commission's determination is negative, it shall take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to infrastructure investment and by promoting competition in the telecommunications market.
(c) Demographic information for unserved areas
As part of the inquiry required by subsection (b), the Commission shall compile a list of geographical areas that are not served by any provider of advanced telecommunications capability (as defined by subsection (d)(1)) 1 and to the extent that data from the Census Bureau is available, determine, for each such unserved area-
(1) the population;
(2) the population density; and
(3) the average per capita income.
For purposes of this subsection: 2
(1) Advanced telecommunications capability
The term "advanced telecommunications capability" is defined, without regard to any transmission media or technology, as high-speed, switched, broadband telecommunications capability that enables users to originate and receive high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications using any technology.
(2) Elementary and secondary schools
The term "elementary and secondary schools" means elementary and secondary schools, as defined in section 7801 of title 20.
( Pub. L. 104–104, title VII, §706, Feb. 8, 1996, 110 Stat. 153 ; Pub. L. 107–110, title X, §1076(gg), Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2093 ; Pub. L. 110–385, title I, §103(a), Oct. 10, 2008, 122 Stat. 4096 ; Pub. L. 114–95, title IX, §9215(ttt), Dec. 10, 2015, 129 Stat. 2190 .)
Subsection (d)(1), referred to in subsec. (c), was in the original "section 706(c)(1) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996" and was translated as reading "section 706(d)(1) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996", which is classified to subsection (d)(1) of this section, to reflect the probable intent of Congress and the redesignation of subsec. (c) as (d) by Pub. L. 110–385, title I, §103(a)(2), Oct. 10, 2008, 122 Stat. 4096 .
2015-Subsec. (d)(2). Pub. L. 114–95 made technical amendment to reference in original act which appears in text as reference to section 7801 of title 20.
2008-Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 110–385, §103(a)(1), substituted "annually" for "regularly".
Subsecs. (c), (d). Pub. L. 110–385, §103(a)(2), (3), added subsec. (c) and redesignated former subsec. (c) as (d).
2002-Subsec. (c)(2). Pub. L. 107–110 substituted "section 7801 of title 20" for "paragraphs (14) and (25), respectively, of section 14101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 8801)".
For definitions of terms used in this section, see section 3(b) of Pub. L. 104–104, set out as a Common Terminology note under section 153 of this title.
2 So in original. Probably should be "section:".
