A new investigation by ProPublica and the Anchorage Daily News found that a federal broadband subsidy program is providing more than $340,000 a year to deliver internet service to hundreds of mostly empty buildings on Alaska’s remote Adak Island. The funding comes through the Universal Service Fund, a fee collected from telecommunications customers that helps bring internet access to rural communities. Residents who remain on the island say they’ve turned to Starlink because it offers faster service. Dan talked with Anchorage Daily News investigative reporter Kyle Hopkins about whether this money is being spent where it’s needed.
