Zayo Is First ISP Breaking Ground on NTIA Middle-Mile Grant Project

Zayo became the first ISP to begin construction on a project that includes funding from NTIA's middle mile broadband infrastructure grant program, the agency said Monday. Zayo received $24 million to build a 645-mile fiber network across Nevada and 23 access points that will "enable ready access to local [ISPs]," NTIA said (see 2405220050). The start of construction "means the people of Nevada are one step closer to more affordable, more reliable high-speed internet service," NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson said.
