The majority of the federal funding earmarked for the rural broadband initiative is subject to the Build America, Buy America Act.  Nokia has a long history of investing in America.  Nokia is the 1st company to announce plans for Buy America compliant production of network equipment critical to broadband deployments.

This is our generation’s “electrification moment” and we are rising to the challenge.
