SUMMARY: Mississippi will receive $1.2 billion from the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to improve high-speed internet access.

Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo highlighted the importance of affordable and reliable internet access in today's economy, and the investment aims to close the digital divide in Mississippi. The funds come from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, which prioritizes unserved and underserved locations in terms of internet access. The program will be administered by Mississippi's Broadband Expansion and Accessibility office.
