The White House on Monday announced plans to spend as much as $42 billion on making internet access universal in the country by 2030, according to a report by Reuters. This initiative is part of President Joe Biden’s new economic policies, which will be a part of his 2024 re-election campaign.
“Today, 24 million people in our country do not have access to high-speed internet, either because they cannot afford the monthly cost of a plan or because they live in communities that have not yet been fully connected to fiber-optic networks,” Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement. “Every person in our nation, no matter where they live, should be able to access and afford high-speed internet.”
