It's a chilly morning in St. Paul, Minnesota after a productive full-day technical assistance session with the state broadband office! #InternetforAll

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

@EricForsch @wvdevo @NTIAgov A gorgeous state for sure!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

The @wvdevo broadband office continues to impress with their innovative ideas on how to reach universal coverage in #westvirginia. Fantastic meeting with their team today! #internetforall

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

Beyond proud to serve as technical assistance advisor for @NTIAgov and for our work to be included in the White House Technical Assistance Guide! We're working every day to ensure communities have the tools they need to get the most out of these historic funds. #InternetforAll

ICYMI: This week we released a new Technical Assistance Guide, ensuring that every community in this country - small, large, rural, or urban - has the resources to unlock the historic funding in @POTUS' Investing in America agenda. Spread the word:

@EricForsch @NTIAgov Gonna have an Oregon one soon, too!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

It was a whirlwind 24 hours in NYC, but feeling more energized than ever to get to work. When we say #InternetforAll, we mean it, no matter where you live.

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

Productive meeting with the @MI_Broadband office yesterday! Impressed with their dedication and progress toward #InternetforAll in Michigan. Looking forward to seeing Eric and team get this done!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

Productive technical assistance meeting with @OhioDevelopment on their BEAD planning efforts. Looking forward to working with them toward #internetforall!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

This week was an absolute blast! Energizing time spent with states and territories doing the hard work of #InternetforAll. Glad to be a part of this tremendous work!

[NTIA @NTIAgov]

This week, NTIA's State Broadband Leaders Network gathered to share best practices and coordinate on state’s high-speed Internet deployment efforts.

These dedicated public servants are working to deliver #InternetforAll to every state and locality in 🇺🇸!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

@sbloomfield15 @NTIAgov We were so glad to have you, Shirley. Thanks for sharing best practices from @NTCAconnect members on working with states to get this job done!

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

This is what a room of dedicated public servants who are working toward #InternetforAll looks like. Let the @NTIAgov 2023 State Broadband Leaders Network Summer Summit commence!

[NTIA @NTIAgov]

Yesterday, @DelaneyNTIA and @MitchLandrieu46 traveled to Jackson, TN to celebrate @PrysmianNA’s new fiber optic cable production & see how #InternetForAll is building a workforce that looks like America.

Women & people of color make up more than half of Prysmian's #TN workforce.

[Mitch Landrieu Archived @MitchLandrieu46]

Access to knowledge is a great equalizer & access to internet is a necessity to fully participate in today's society. That's why @POTUS announced $40B – the largest federal investment in high-speed internet in our history – so we can close the digital divide once and for all.

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

Proud of Tennessee for being on the forefront of supporting #InternetforAll efforts, including by fiber manufacturers! @TNECD

[April Delaney @DelaneyNTIA]

#InternetForAll will create thousands of jobs nationwide. @PrysmianNA is stepping up to make it happen.

Thrilled to see their work on stage with @potus this week, and excited to see their revamped Jackson, Tenn. facility for myself tomorrow.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

High-speed internet is infrastructure.

[Secretary Gina Raimondo @SecRaimondo]

Big news: We’re investing $42 billion to bring affordable, high-speed internet to every American.

It’s the largest-ever investment to close the digital divide — and it’s all thanks to @POTUS’ Investing in America Agenda.

[Mitch Landrieu Archived @MitchLandrieu46]

Today, @POTUS & @VP will announce over $40 billion to every state, territory, & D.C. for high-speed internet infrastructure. This is THE single largest federal investment in high-speed internet in our nation’s history.

[Secretary Gina Raimondo @SecRaimondo]

Excited to be at the White House as @POTUS makes a historic announcement about our efforts to close the digital divide.

[Crystal Ivey @crystaliveyTN]

It's finally happening! What a historic day made possible by so many people over many years of hard work and advocacy. Let's get this done! #InternetforAll

[NTIA @NTIAgov]

A milestone moment for the nearly 8.5M homes & small businesses across 🇺🇸 who lack Internet access!

Every state and territory in America now know how much 💰 they’ll need to connect everyone to affordable, reliable, high-speed #InternetForAll.
