The White House has unveiled how the government will divvy up $42bn among the US’s 50 states to expand access to high-speed broadband by 2030, as it launched a new publicity campaign for President Joe Biden’s economic policies.The $42bn in federal funding under the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program is based on a newly released Federal Communications Commission coverage map that details gaps in access, the White House said on Monday.Texas and California – the two most populous US states – top the funding list at $3.1bn and $1.9bn, respectively. But other less populous states like Virginia, Alabama and Louisiana cracked the top 10 list for funding due to lack of broadband access.
