The Rapid Response Stream is a special stream of the Universal Broadband Fund designed to address immediate connectivity needs. Broadband projects under this stream must provide improved service by November 15, 2021 at the latest. This includes the deployment of the physical infrastructure and the connection of most households targeted by the project.
The objective of this stream, which has a budget of up to $150 million, is to enhance household access to high-speed Internet in the very short term or before November 15, 2021 to address immediate broadband needs and to contribute to the acceleration of the connectivity timelines and ambitions of the Universal Broadband Fund. It will allocate contributions of up to $5 million to projects that can be deployed quickly and have a big impact on networks in rural and remote areas where Internet service speeds have not yet reached 50/10 Mbps.
