ARRIS has introduced an offering to assist cable operators in preparing their applications for Broadband Stimulus funds through the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) program. The American Reinvestment & Recovery Act (ARRA) contains provisions that encourage cable operators to apply for grants, loans and guarantees to assist them in deploying un-served and under-served communities for broadband access.

Upon completion of the necessary financial, technical and logistical review, the operator submits the application to USDA/RUS.
