Bills Filed On Broadband For All Texans

Supplying affordable high-speed internet access for all Texans is the goal of legislation passed by the Texas Senate on Wednesday. The bill would create a broadband development office, develop a statewide plan, draw a state map of broadband usage and create financial incentives. It was one of Governor Abbott’s emergency items for the state legislature. The COVID lockdown proved how vital internet access is for all Texans.
