This is a really big deal. Just like the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act in 1956 literally paved the way for interstate commerce and decades of economic expansion, the High-Speed Internet Grant Program will unlock economic opportunities across the nation.
“Access to the Internet isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. That’s why the Biden-Harris administration is providing $65 billion to expand Internet access. We want to make sure that everyone in America has access to reliable and affordable high-speed Internet. High-speed Internet doesn’t just help individuals. It helps our country. It saves us time and money. It creates jobs and opportunities here in the United States. And it helps us connect to one another, building a stronger, more free society.”
