Advanced
telecommunications services play a vital role in the economic
development, education and health care of rural Americans. The
Rural Utilities Services (RUS) Distance Learning and
Telemedicine (DLT) Program is specifically designed to meet the
educational and health care needs of rural America through the use
of advanced telecommunications technologies. With DLT loans,
grants, and loan-grant combinations, RUS helps rural communities
enjoy enhanced educational opportunities, improved health care
services and greater economic development. RUS partnership with
rural America is long-standing. For over 50 years, RUS has been at
the forefront of providing the infrastructure financing that
brought advanced telecommunications services to the most rural
areas of our country. Today, RUS continues as an essential source
of financing and technical assistance for rural telecommunication
systems. The DLT Program strengthens that partnership and
commitment by continuing to improve the quality of life for rural
citizens.
