Five territories and the District of Columbia also sign on for the program.
The Department of Commerce announced that all 50 states as well as five U.S. Territories and the District of Columbia have signed on to the Internet for All initiative. Under the infrastructure legislation, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration will disperse a collective $42.45 billion under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program and the Digital Equity Act program to ensure reliable, affordable high-speed internet is available to everyone in the nation.
“What this announcement means for people across the country is that if you don’t have access to quality, affordable high-speed Internet service now – you will, thanks to President Biden and his commitment to investing in America,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Raimondo as she supports the rollout of Internet for All.
- For NTIA officials as they administer funding to expand broadband internet access throughout the jurisdiction of the United States.
