In many parts of rural Texas, broadband Internet access is hard to come by connections are unreliable and slow, and service often costs more than it does in more densely populated parts of the state.
Last week, the Texas Senate unanimously passed Senate Bill 5, a measure that aims to expand the state s broadband infrastructure. The bill, which Gov. Greg Abbott included on his emergency agenda for this legislative session, now moves to the House. The legislation would put planning and mapping tools in place as a starting point for expanding broadband.
Robert Scott is a founder of the Texas Rural Broadband Coalition and a former commissioner of the Texas Education Agency. He told Texas Standard there are rural and urban deserts that experience problems.
