The Federal Communications Commission may increase the minimum broadband speed standard to 25 megabytes per second in rural areas. That's on the lower end of what urban residents can generally access, but it's more than double the current rate for rural broadband, Makena Kelly reports for The Verge, a tech publication of Vox.
Telecoms companies that take government subsidies to build out rural broadband would be required to meet the new standard, but the FCC would have to use different incentives to get companies to improve existing networks, Kelly reports.
FCC Chair Ajit Pai announced the proposal in a blog post last week, saying they hoped to begin the switch in December.
