The goal to provide every household in Arizona with reliable, high-speed broadband internet is one step closer to reality as the state received nearly $1 billion in funding from the federal government.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration approved Arizona’s Initial Proposals for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, allowing the state to request access to funding and begin implementing the program projects across the state.
