New Mexico Urges Federal Government to Release Broadband Funding for Universal Internet Access
New Mexico is pressing the federal government to release approximately $293 million in broadband funding to build out high-speed internet across the state. The state has approved $382 million for direct home and business connections and aims to use the remaining funds for projects like 5G towers and links to essential institutions. State broadband director Jeff Lopez emphasizes the importance of these funds to achieve universal internet access, digital skills training, and job growth. However, the state is currently waiting for federal guidance on spending the money, as the expected March release has not arrived, leaving projects in limbo.
