Tallahassee, Fla. – Connecting Florida today applauded and thanked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for signing House Bill 969, related to Broadband Internet Service, into law.
HB 969 aims to increase broadband access across the state, particularly in rural, underserved, and unserved areas, by establishing the Florida Office of Broadband and allowing up to $5 million of the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) program funds to be used for broadband infrastructure development within or adjacent to a multi-use corridor.
