Remarks by US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo at the White House Tribal Nations Summit
At the Department of Commerce, we are laser-focused on building a 21st century economy, and that starts with high-speed internet. For too long, tribal communities have been cut off from reliable, affordable internet. But that’s changing. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, we have awarded over $1.8 billion to more than 220 tribal entities to expand high-speed internet network deployment and digital skills training.
