Michigan on cusp of major broadband expansion to areas of state with little access
Every resident in the state could have access to broadband, or high speed internet, in the near future, thanks to federal funds coming Michigan's way, according to Eric Frederick, Executive Director of Connected Nation Michigan — a non-profit group dedicated to eliminating the digital divide in all its forms. Federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and especially the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be a game-changer, Frederick said.
