$45 Billion Federal Program
Aims To Provide Affordable, Reliable High-Speed Internet To All Americans By 2030
The Biden-Harris Administration launched an Internet for All initiative, investing $45 billion to provide affordable, reliable, high-speed internet for everyone in America by the end of the decade. The initiative will be administered and implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
The program will build internet infrastructure, teach digital skills, and provide the necessary technology to ensure that everyone in America—including communities of color, rural communities, and older Americans—has the access and skills to participate in today’s society fully.
The Internet for All program includes three Notices of Funding Opportunities:
• Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program: $42.5 billion
