Bernie Sanders Unveils $150 Billion 'Internet For All' Plan

In a bid to improve broadband access across the US, Sanders proposed a $150 billion investment plan targeting affordable housing, people with disabilities, and tribal lands. The plan, funded by the Green New Deal, aims to create publicly owned networks and preempt state laws limiting municipal broadband. Sanders emphasized the necessity of internet access and vowed to challenge telecom monopolies. The FCC's 2018 report highlighted the US's lag in broadband speed and price, with rural areas particularly affected. Other Democratic candidates have also proposed broadband infrastructure plans.
