加州正在接受特朗普政府提供的14.2亿美元宽带拨款资金,但该州拒绝接受特朗普政府要求其停止执行网络中立法及其他电信法规的条件。
California is accepting $1.42 billion in broadband grant funding from the Trump administration, but the state is not accepting the Trump administration's demand that it stop enforcing a net neutrality law and other telecom regulations.
加州对抗特朗普政府的立场可能引发涉及该州、联邦政府以及寻求政府资金的互联网服务提供商的多场法律战。尽管加州告知联邦政府将接受这笔资金,但保留对美国施加的条件提出挑战的权利。视事态发展而定,该州可能会推迟或取消分发宽带拨款的计划。
California's stand against the Trump administration could result in multiple legal battles involving the state, federal government, and Internet providers seeking government funds. Although California told the federal government it would accept the money, it is reserving the right to challenge the condition imposed by the US. The state could delay or cancel plans to distribute broadband grants depending on how the process unfolds.
美国国家电信和信息管理局(NTIA)去年决定,各州必须同意不对接受420亿美元“宽带公平、接入与部署”(BEAD)计划资金的互联网服务提供商实施任何费率监管或网络中立规则。加州不得不决定是否在该限制下接受其份额的资金。加州计划花费14.2亿美元为270,571个地点部署宽带,最终可能从BEAD计划获得高达18.6亿美元,用于部署和非部署项目的组合。
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) decided last year that states must agree not to enforce any rate regulation or net neutrality rule on ISPs that receive money from the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. California had to decide whether to accept its share of the fund despite that restriction. California is slated to spend $1.42 billion to deploy broadband to 270,571 locations, and may ultimately receive up to $1.86 billion from BEAD for a mix of deployment and non-deployment projects.
