New York grants another $25M for high-speed Internet

New York is investing another $25 million to provide high-speed Internet access to rural and urban areas that lack capacity. Gov Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) says that will bring the total committed over the past couple of years through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program to $56 million. The money will go to 18 broadband projects that will build about 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure serving 153,000 homes, 8,000 businesses, and 400 community institutions.
