Future of internet in Idaho

Not only was Idaho awarded $583 million in BEAD funding for expanding internet access in unserved and underserved areas, there are also other initiatives underway to expand fiber access to areas lacking reliable, high-speed internet. One of these projects includes 198 miles of fiber optic infrastructure in rural Idaho. The state hopes for universal broadband access to at least 100 Mbps by 2027.
