'Internet for All' initiative coming to NC

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and U.S Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced an initiative called Internet for All, which will launch in North Carolina. Using $45 billion in funding from the bipartisan Infrastructure Law, every state will get $5 million to create a 5-year action plus. The rest of the $100 million funding the program will be divided by need, with the states with the most underserved population when it comes to internet connection getting the most. According to Raimondo, 30 million Americans, including more than a million in North Carolina, don't have access to the internet. The announcement was made at the Kramden Institute in Durham. The Kramden Institute is a company that has donated thousands of computers to North Carolina families over the years, WRAL-TV reported Friday. In addition, the initiative will create 100,000 jobs, said Raimondo. Part of the plan includes training people to help bring internet connection by doing jobs like laying fiber. Raimondo said the goal is to tackle internet availability and affordability. She said the average cost of internet in the US is $60 per month, which Raimondo said is too high for most Americans.
