One of my first efforts as a US senator was launching my Capito Connect initiative — a roadmap for bringing affordable, reliable, high-speed internet access to homes, businesses, and classrooms in WV. Each year, we’re making significant strides, and in 2019, we’ve made even more progress. While we’ve made great strides, there’s always more work to do. Federal, state and local entities must work in tandem to ensure we reach last-mile communities. On the state level, the WV Broadband Enhancement Council is an important partner in closing the digital divide in WV.
