Microsoft to expand rural broadband access initiative to 25 states
Microsoft will expand its Airband Initiative to bring broadband to rural communities in 25 states by the end of next year. Through the widened Airband Initiative, Microsoft says it seeks to bring broadband access to 3 million Americans by July 2022, up from its original goal of 2 million. Microsoft works with local internet providers and businesses to seek new ways to deliver broadband internet, especially with TV white spaces technology that sends data through unused TV channels.
