flag Pennsylvania to spend $793M in federal funds to expand high-speed internet to 130,000 rural areas using fiber, satellite, and wireless.

flag Pennsylvania plans to spend $793 million in federal funds to expand high-speed internet to 130,000 rural locations, with two-thirds using fiber-optic cables, 18% via satellite providers like SpaceX and Amazon’s Project Kuiper, and 13% through wireless. flag Critics worry about satellite internet reliability, noting only 17.4% of SpaceX users met broadband speed standards in early 2025, and fear increased usage could slow speeds. flag Labor groups argue satellite providers don’t create local jobs or long-term infrastructure. flag The U.S. Department of Commerce must approve the plan and may reject grants deemed too costly.
