Construction began Thursday near Poway on the first leg of a 10,000-mile-long broadband network intended to provide high-speed internet service options to everyone in the state.
POWAY, Calif. —
"This is about ensuring that all Californians, no matter the ZIP code they call home, can be part of the Golden State's thriving and diverse economy," he said. When completed, the Middle Mile will be the nation's largest such broadband network, officials said. State funding will be made available for"last mile" connections from the network to rural communities. According to the governor's office, roughly one in five Californians do not have access to reliable and affordable high-speed internet, including more than 200,000 people in San Diego County.
The local project that began Thursday will be a fiber optic line running from Lakeside to Ramona. Once the network is complete, local carriers will have access to the network to provide communities with direct service to homes and businesses, as well as reduced-cost or free broadband internet service for those who are eligible.
