President Biden?s bipartisan infrastructure law has the chance to bring Americans universal high-speed internet, according to infrastructure bill coordinator Mitch Landrieu. During a press conference on Monday, Landrieu said high-speed internet will be getting a very large boost from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack says the goal isn?t to just have internet available, but high-speed internet for all Americans.

Landrieu and Vilsack made their broadband comments while also announcing a new rural infrastructure tour to engage rural communities across the U.S.
