Gov. Haslam broadband plan offers $45M in grants, incentives

More rural Tennesseans will have access to reliable broadband services through state tax breaks or grants, "deregulation" and consumer education, Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday morning in introducing the latest plank of his legislative agenda.

"Unfortunately today, too many of our citizens are without broadband access. In fact, 34 percent of our rural residents do not have broadband access at recognized minimum standards," Haslam said Thursday at Cane Ridge High School in Antioch.

The goal of the state act is to get access to everyone
