Biden Administration Announces $930 Million in Broadband Grants

The Biden administration announced $930 million in grants to expand high-speed internet access across 35 states and Puerto Rico.
The funds will be used to build infrastructure to carry large amounts of data over long distances and increase capacity for local networks.
The grants aim to provide internet access to unserved and underserved communities like military bases, tribal lands, and rural areas.
The funding comes from the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law last year that allocates $65 billion to expand affordable, reliable high-speed internet.
States like Alaska, California, and Michigan will receive the largest amounts of funding to expand broadband access.
