Little River County – AR issued the following announcement on April 19.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson released key findings and recommendations of an anticipated state broadband report from consultant, Broadband Development Group (BDG). BDG, hired in October of last year, conducted a six-month, state-wide study to develop a comprehensive master plan for addressing the digital divide and inequitable availability of broadband service across Arkansas. According to its findings, Arkansas currently has 210,000 underserved households. 100,000 of these households are covered by a grant under the federal Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF). Because of the federal rules associated with this grant, the state cannot fund grants to these areas. But Arkansas can address the gap in service of the remaining 110,000 households.
