The Department of Commerce's NTIA has recommended over $162 million in funding for four Tribal entities to expand high-speed Internet access. This initiative is part of the Biden-Harris Administration's broader Internet for All Initiative, utilizing funds from the $3 billion Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program. Grants aim to develop Internet infrastructure on Tribal lands, which is essential for work, education, health care, and other critical services. The program recognizes that local solutions are necessary to effectively bridge the digital divide for these communities.
Access to affordable, reliable Internet is not a luxury - it's a necessity. This historic investment to connect Tribal communities is crucial for digital opportunities.
Each grant we announce today reflects a Tribe's own novel approach to bridging the digital divide in their community.
High-speed internet is crucial in today's world. It's necessary that rural and Tribal communities have equal access to broadband for telehealth and education.
The funding from the nearly $3 billion Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program is a significant step towards enhancing Internet access and adoption on Tribal Lands.
