§2370.29. Compliance during the grant agreement
The office will conduct an implementation meeting with a grant recipient within
thirty days of execution of a grant agreement and will make reporting templates and
instructions available at or shortly after the implementation meeting. The office shall require
that a grant recipient offer the proposed advertised minimum download and minimum upload
speeds of one hundred Mbps download and twenty Mbps upload. A grant recipient that has
offered broadband service to at least one thousand consumers for a period of at least five
consecutive years shall offer broadband service at prices consistent with offers to consumers
in other areas of the state. Any other broadband service provider shall ensure that the
broadband service is priced to consumers at no more than the cost rate identified in the
project application for the duration of the five-year service agreement. In calculating cost,
the grant recipient may adjust annually consistent with the annual percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index in the preceding year. At least annually, a grant recipient shall
provide to the office evidence consistent with the Federal Communications Commission
attestation that the grant recipient is making available the proposed advertised speed, or a
faster speed, as contained in the grant agreement.
