Daryl DeShotel Talks Expanded Broadband 6-17-21

State Representative Daryl DeShotel joined us to talk about a bill he brought up that would expand Louisiana’s broadband access and high speed internet.  DeShotel says there are over 450,000 households in the state that do not have broadband internet access and he’s working to change that.  Louisiana would receive 180 million dollars from the American Rescue Plan that would go towards broadband so that households in Louisiana can become more advanced.  He also discusses the grant program for the digital divide.
