Hawai‘i is among the first states in the country to receive approval for new funding from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program which will be used to build out and improve broadband infrastructure statewide. “Everyone in Hawai‘i should have access to high-speed internet,” said Senator Schatz. “This new funding puts us one step closer to achieving that goal by helping expand broadband infrastructure across the state. We’re going to continue doing everything we can to deliver federal funding to make affordable, dependable high-speed internet a reality for all.” The BEAD program was created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
