TL;DR

President Joe Biden announced the distribution of $42.5 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure law to expand high-speed internet access across the US, with the aim of connecting all residents and small businesses to reliable, affordable high-speed internet by 2030. The funding will go to all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and US territories, and is aimed at bolstering internet access particularly for the 7% of people who live in underserved areas. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris plan to kick off a three-week pitch aimed at touting their administration's investments across the country, including the 2021 infrastructure law and a host of other legislation they argue is starting to make concrete improvements in Americans' lives.
