Broadband Authority Releases Draft Report  

The Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority released its draft five-year action plan to expand internet access across the Commonwealth using $1.15 billion in funding through the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) plan. The plan builds on public input from a survey on broadband access that is still open and available, as well as in-person and virtual outreach across the street.
