Alabama will be receiving millions of dollars of federal funding to provide internet service for thousands of residents. Alabama will be getting $27.8 million from the Federal Communications Commission to provide high speed internet access to nearly 38,000 homes and businesses in rural parts of the state.
According to a Thursday release from the federal commission, the total $255.7 million authorized by the FCC will reportedly be used by five internet service providers to connect more than 90,000 people who currently lack service.
Alabama is the state receiving the largest chunk of funding, with Tennessee receiving the second-largest amount at $26.2 million. The money is reportedly coming from the FCC’s Connect America Fund, a program designed to deliver broadband internet access to rural communities in 41 states.
