Biden's $42 billion plan to connect every home with high-speed internet by 2030

President Biden has announced a $42 billion investment to expand high-speed internet access to the 8.5 million homes and businesses without it, aiming to achieve universal access by 2030. The funds will be allocated to all states and territories, with 19 states receiving over $1 billion each. The timeline includes drafting plans, distributing funds, and beginning work on projects, with some potentially not being completed before the 2024 election. The administration aims to address the digital divide and ensure that underserved communities, including rural and suburban areas, have access to affordable broadband. This initiative is seen as an important part of Biden's reelection campaign to demonstrate progress and address the enthusiasm gap.
