This legislation requires the Comptroller General of the United States to undertake a comprehensive study regarding the Appalachian Regional Commission's capacity to incorporate satellite technology into broadband projects . The study's primary objective is to evaluate the potential of satellite broadband for business applications and its role in fostering economic growth. Specifically, the Comptroller General must review the effectiveness of satellite broadband services for business purposes and assess economic development in regions that have already adopted such technology. Furthermore, the study will analyze the cost-effectiveness of implementing broadband via satellites to support economic development initiatives. The findings of this detailed study are mandated to be submitted to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment.
