Texas is moving forward with a pilot program to provide satellite broadband service in rural areas through grant funding. With an investment of $30 million, the initiative, announced by Comptroller Glenn Hegar, focuses on serving unserved regions that struggle with traditional internet connectivity. Applications for the Texas Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Broadband Grant Program are now being solicited, targeting development in up to 10,000 locations. The Texas Broadband Development Office will assess subscription rates to determine potential for wider implementation following the pilot's success.
