America needs more internet

Listen Later

The bipartisan infrastructure bill that passed in late 2021 includes substantial funds for expanding broadband internet access to close the digital divide in America. How much money is going to be spent? How and when will the funds be allocated? And in what ways can this process best serve the communities that need it the most? Blair Levin from The Brookings Institution explains.

Blair Levin’s series:

  • Steps the states should take to achieve the infrastructure bill's broadband goals 
  • States' best chance for permanent broadband affordability requires action now
  • Steps the Commerce Department should take to achieve the infrastructure bill's broadband goals 


    Today’s episode was produced by Jon Ehrens, engineered by Melissa Pons and hosted by Adam Clark Estes.
