U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Jon Tester announced Montana will receive more than $125 million to expand high-speed internet access to more than 45,000 locations across rural Montana. The funds are available through the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Development Opportunity Fund (RDOF) and will be allocated to providers to help close the digital gap and deliver high-speed internet service to unserved homes and businesses.
