CableZL 11/06/21 4:27:46 AM #4:	https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/28/politics/infrastructure-bill-explained/index.html *Broadband upgrade* The bill would provide a $65 billion investment in improving the nation's broadband infrastructure, according to the bill text. Biden initially wanted to invest $100 billion in broadband. RELATED: Biden wants to close the digital divide in the US. Here's what that could look like It also aims to help lower the price households pay for internet service by requiring federal funding recipients to offer a low-cost affordable plan, by creating price transparency and by boosting competition in areas where existing providers aren't providing adequate service. It would also create a permanent federal program to help more low-income households access the internet, according to the White House fact sheet. Hell yes. Fucking finally, we have a legitimate investment in our internet infrastructure. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:959743249] in Bipartisan...
