According to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), $800 million will be given out to help boost rural broadband access across the nation.
Six providers will get funding from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, which they will use to connect more than 350,000 sites across 19 states.
Illinois, Arizona, and Iowa received the greatest funding among the states.

The FCC claims the premises will be connected using a combination of fibre, fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband, which uses a mobile network to give fixed line quality connectivity, or a blend of the two standards, but it does not specify any particular technology.
As part of our continued efforts to reduce the digital divide, this money will provide high-speed broadband access to more homes across the nation, according to FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel.
"We are optimistic that these projects will expand access to high-quality service in underserved communities."
With the most recent investment, the project has already awarded more than US$6 billion to 47 different states.
The FCC has stated that the existing minimum requirement for broadband in the US, which is set at 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload, is no longer adequate to handle the applications that Americans need for business, leisure, and daily life.
In order to eventually reach 1Gbps and 500Mbps, the minimum standard will be raised to 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload.
