Broadband Applications Crash Federal Systems
Federal agencies handling applications for broadband stimulus grants have been forced to extend the deadline for applications because their online systems have buckled under the strain.
Applications were due by 5 PM eastern on Friday August 14, 2009, but the system converting applications into PDF-formatted documents has slowed to the point of being unusable.
As a result, both the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Rural Utility Service (RUS) have given applicants an extra week, until Thursday August 20 at 5 PM, to complete the application process.
However, only applicants who have begun the process by the original deadline are eligible for the extension.
