An Federal Communications Commission program that provides millions of dollars in federal subsidies to help pay rural healthcare facilities’ high internet bills has been on hold for nearly a year as the agency conducts a rate review, according to an article on the Alaska Public Media website.
The rate review came after the $400 million dollars for rural health care programs across the country ran out.
Since then, Internet service providers have not been getting paid what they expected.
The result for one facility, the Cordova Community Medical Center, was a shutoff notice due to an unpaid internet bill of nearly $1 million.
