In February 2009, President Barack Obama signed landmark legislation into effect which has created tremendous opportunity for companies to deploy telephony (broadband) services into rural America. This sets out to be multi-faceted by creating new jobs (i.e. engineering, marketing, fiber deployment, construction, management, accounting, legal) by offering opportunities to the American heartland to have similar telephony services and major cities. Combinations of local, VoIP, IPtv and high speed internet access will flourish as a direct result of this additional federal funding. Under this new Stimulus package known as ARRA, $2.5 Billion dollars has been allocated for broadband in rural America.
