US President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators have reached a deal regarding a new infrastructure package that will also include billions to improve the country’s broadband connectivity.
As reported by The Verge, the entire infrastructure package will cost $1.2tn over the next eight years and will include close to $559bn in new spending.
While roads, bridges, public transit and other infrastructure items will be included in the bill, so too will funding to expand broadband access throughout the country and especially in rural communities according to a new press release from the White House.
