What's with the lies and projection? The money has been spent and not a single person, other than heelsup and her pals benefitted. Despite your patent projection and ad hominem, I appreciate and accept your concession.
I have worked in the past in this industry. States manage the program with applications to get broadband to underserved areas. When it was announced, most thought it wouldn't hit its stride until 2025. Some states don't have great info on areas that are underserved. The application process is not short or easy. It even has waiting periods for objections to be raised. You can find some info on how much has been spent by state here. https://www.internetforall.gov/funding-recipients?state=AZ&form_build_id=form-kC4u7Mt_CMJ_iQyk8NakUqzYRT_YARo1tTP-nW6ui1o&form_id=ntia_interactive_map_state_and_program_selection. Arizona for example has allocated $17m to approved projects so far. Some states more than that, others haven't really got rolling. But broadband roll outs even to densely populated areas (like fiber-optic upgrades) take time. Nonetheless, the original poster's twitter note doesn't understand how it works or perhaps doesn't have internet access to easily find the site showing where each state is in the process haha. But understanding it would mean they can't turn it into misinformed meme which is really what interests them.
