President Biden is heading to North Carolina on Thursday to announce $82 million in new investments to connect homes and businesses in the state to high-speed internet.
He will go to the Raleigh-Durham area in the critical battleground state to make the announcement, alongside Gov. Roy Cooper (D). The funding comes from the American Rescue Plan, which was the COVID-19 relief package Biden signed into law in 2021, and aims to connect an additional 16,000 homes and businesses in North Carolina.
The investment, according to a fact sheet from the White House, will also create jobs in manufacturing and construction to produce “Made-in-America fiber-optic cable that will build out internet infrastructure across the country.”
We don’t want 82 million in giveaways to Comcast.
We want public Internet that is free to users and run by the government
I feel like we’ve seen this show before…
Free, and run by the government sounds like ‘highly regulated and restricted’ to me. Like they would have any reservations on sucking up everyone’s data.
Edit: Downvote me all you want, but remember Snowden and the NSA.
You haven’t heard of municipal ISPs?
i mean exactly considering that republicans are literally trying to do that with kosa, which republicans are admitting is just to censor lgbtq content.
