Last week, I pointed out an angle of attack the Democrats could use in 2022 against Republican lawmakers and 2020 candidates who stood on the steps of the Capitol and pledged $1 billion for broadband expansion.
Again, they got to that $1 billion number by including the up to $766 million the state could have pulled down in the first phase of the Federal Communication Commissionâs Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction, the $50 million the state originally set aside from the C.A.R.E.S. Act for broadband expansion, and $150 million spread out over three years allocated by the Legislature itself.
In reality, the state only pulled down $362 million from the RDOF auction phase two and $33 million from the C.A.R.E.S. Act for broadband (though a possible new coronavirus relief package could allow the state to keep the remaining money it received form the initial $1.25 billion for COVID-19 expenses).

Last month, our Budweiser Brewing Company APAC team unveiled a newly decorated Sustainability Meeting Room in their Shanghai Office. All the materials and decorations that we used for the room are made of agiowood – an innovative material in which recycled rice husk replaces the usage of real wood.
Agiowood is produced by Shianco Home Technology, one of the 15 teams participating in our 2020 AB InBev 100+ Accelerator Cohort. Currently in its second year of the program, the 100+ Accelerator hosts and provides funding to start-ups to solve challenges designed to create a more sustainable world for all and creates solutions for some of the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time.

CHARLESTON Thanks to a new map developed by the West Virginia Broadband Enhancement Council, the public can see the parts of the state set to receive access to high-speed internet over the next 10 years.
The new Broadband Availability Map available at broadband.wv.gov shows where the state will receive access to broadband after the first phase of the Federal Communication Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.
Nine companies were selected in the RDOF Phase I auction to expand high-speed internet to unserved parts of West Virginia. These companies will receive $362.1 million through the auction out of a possible $766 million for projects in 119,267 Census tracts.
