Phoenix, Arizona - Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Lumen Technologies (Lumen), formerly known as CenturyLink, announced that the company will invest $2 million in fiber-optic infrastructure across Arizona. The investment is required pursuant to the terms of the consent judgment entered into with the State in February 2020.
"COVID-19 has highlighted the drastic need for fast internet, with so many people working from home and children attending school online," said Attorney General Brnovich. “Arizonans need a high-speed connection in rural areas, just as much as our big cities. Through this investment, Lumen will help expand educational access in our schools, allow for faster access to health and safety resources, and create new job opportunities for Arizonans.”
