The federal government is allocating about $65 billion to improve broadband internet access in rural areas and make broadband more affordable for lower-income households across the U.S.

The internet provisions are included in the $1 trillion-plus Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law recently by President Joe Biden.

States will receive large grants to pay for internet improvements.

The legislation extends a federal discount on broadband service for low-income families.

And it requires clear, uniform labeling of internet prices that will help consumers compare plans and understand the fees on their monthly bills.

The infrastructure law also includes new spending for the nation’s roads, bridges, and railways, along with funding for clean-water projects and upgrades to electric grids.
