National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Garrett Blaney:
The NBP is designed to cover everyone but there may be a role for the USO as some sort of safety net. As it is unclear who would not have broadband after the NBP is rolled out, that is a matter for future transposition. If there was concern that a safety net was needed, then the USO would be available. However, that is a matter for the transposition and for the Department.
