PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Senators from Maine and Nevada have a new plan to expand access to affordable high-speed broadband in underserved areas.
Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine and Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen of Nevada said their proposal focuses on building the “middle mile” of broadband infrastructure. The “middle mile” refers to infrastructure that connects internet carriers to local networks and facilities such as schools, libraries and government offices.
