Three bills designed to increase broadband reach across rural Pennsylvania have passed through a committee in the state senate.
Republican Senator Joe Pittman says one of the bills will utilize existing infrastructure.
“This legislation is designed to make it easier for our co-ops, particularly those that serve rural Pennsylvania, to use utility poles and existing infrastructure to expand broadband services throughout their customer base,” Pittman said.
Lawmakers say the bills are a result of several hearings the Senate Communications and Technology Committee held on how to close the state’s digital divide.
