For The Inter-Mountain
CHARLESTON Thanks to a new map developed by the West Virginia Broadband Enhancement Council, the public can see the parts of the state set to receive access to high-speed internet over the next 10 years.
The new Broadband Availability Map available at broadband.wv.gov shows where the state will receive access to broadband after the first phase of the Federal Communication Commission’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.
Nine companies were selected in the RDOF Phase I auction to expand high-speed internet to unserved parts of West Virginia. These companies will receive $362.1 million through the auction out of a possible $766 million for projects in 119,267 Census tracts.
Staff Report
A total of 420 sites in Iberville Parish will gain access to high-speed broadband Internet after an auction by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
An estimated 332,000 rural Louisiana residents will get broadband service through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction, according to the FCC.
Space Exploration Technology Corp. bid on 420 sites for $611,436.
In Louisiana, the auction allocated $342,207,315 in support to expand broadband to 175,692 unserved homes and businesses over the next 10 years. Broadband connectivity is one of the major issues facing rural Louisiana and I have made working with our federal partners to enhance the availability of broadband service one of my top priorities, Gov. John Bel Edwards said. This allocation will go a long way in increasing the connectivity of hundreds of thousands of Louisianans, which will improve their ability to participate and compete in an ever-growing digital world.
