Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism from nine Republican Senators regarding her management of the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program, which has yet to connect a single household to the internet since its inception over 1,000 days ago. The Senators' letter highlights concerns over Harris's effectiveness, paralleling her role as 'border czar,' and accuses the administration of imposing partisan requirements that have hampered broadband deployment efforts. Despite Harris's assurances of expanding internet access, rural communities remain unserved, and critics argue that taxpayer dollars are being misused. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has defended the program, stating it is on track according to the 10-year timeline set by Congress. However, reports indicate that actual construction projects are delayed until at least 2025 due to the regulatory hurdles. The ongoing failures have raised questions about the administration's commitment to improving connectivity in underserved areas.
