Frontier to expand fiber broadband network across California with over $23 million in grants
(UI) – Frontier, the largest pure-play fiber provider in the U.S, secured more than $23 million in Federal Funding Account grants to expand high-speed fiber broadband service to unserved and underserved homes and businesses in California.
The three grants from the California Public Utility Commission will enable the company to expand its fiber-optic network in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
With these grants, the company will bring fast, reliable connectivity to homes and businesses in the San Bernardino and Riverside areas, boosting economic and educational opportunities for county residents.
“These broadband projects put state and federal funds to work, bolstering our economy, building durable infrastructure, and generating quality jobs,” said CPUC President Alice Reynolds. “This infrastructure will meet the work, education, healthcare, public safety, and social needs of Californians well into the future, bringing us closer to achieving our Broadband For All objectives.”
“These Federal Funding Account grants are an important step to help close the digital divide in rural and urban communities who do not have access or have substandard access to fast and reliable broadband service,” said CPUC Commissioner Darcie L. Houck.
