Internet for All: How the Biden-Harris Administration plans to bring high-speed internet to everyone in America
On this episode of Connected Nation, the focus is on the federal “Internet for All” initiative recently launched by the Biden-Harris Administration.
We talk with the man who’s been named “Special Representative of Broadband” about what YOUR state and community leaders should be doing NOW to access the billions of dollars in broadband-related funding. Plus, we examine next steps in getting more Americans connected, discuss why that’s so important, and ask how those behind the initiative define success.
