Ohio lawmakers want to expand broadband access to all

Efforts to ensure that every Ohio household has broadband internet access is getting serious attention at the Statehouse, including a bipartisan proposal to earmark $50 million to address a problem impacting rural areas. While 92 percent of Ohioans have access to high-speed internet, that still leaves about 300,000 rural households without decent connectivity, and pockets of unserved homes still exist even in more populated areas.
