A new federal program launched Monday will provide reduced cost internet services for households with little or no access to reliable broadband.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it had awarded $7.3 million to expand broadband connectivity in Spring Creek, just outside of Elko.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel for rural Nevadans struggling with slow, spotty internet service as the Biden administration’s infrastructure bill has allocated $65 billion for broadband improvements.

Not all states are equally positioned to handle the funds allocated for broadband infrastructure that will flow down from the federal government.

President Biden’s infrastructure plan should be celebrated as a historic moment for broadband because of the way the law treats internet access in America.

Nevadans are being asked to participate in the Nevada Speed Test, a yearlong initiative to collect broadband access and speed data.
