Those places include remote parts of Alaska and rural Texas. The so-called middle mile grants are intended to trigger the laying of 12,000 miles of fiber through 35 states and Puerto Rico.

The expansion is among several initiatives pushed through Congress by President Joe Biden's administration to expand high-speed internet connectivity.
