Taking advantage of a public-private partnership with the state of Florida's Broadband Opportunity Program - and with funds from the U.S. Treasury's Capital Projects Fund - Comcast has expanded its network to more than 32,000 homes and businesses in 16 counties in Florida, bringing internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to those residents and businesses.

Spectrum's multi-year rural construction initiative driven by over $7 billion in private investment will expand network infrastructure to deliver gigabit internet to 1.7 million locations.

"These dark fiber assets complement our current fiber network build plan, filling in gaps that help us extend our network and connect even more Ohioans."

"This program is bringing about life-changing improvements for Alabamians, particularly those who live in remote areas," ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said in a press release about the Alabama middle-mile grants.

"This project exemplifies how public-private partnerships can deliver fast, effective broadband expansion," said Brian Worthen, CEO of Visionary Broadband. "We're proud to lead the nation in completing this work and look forward to continuing to serve rural communities with the reliable connectivity they deserve."

The Freestate Middle Mile Network, which is publicly funded and publicly owned, showcases our state's financial stewardship and strategic approach to improving the digital landscape.
