WASHINGTON, April 22, 2024 – The Pennsylvania broadband office announced on April 18 more than $200 million in broadband grants, with major providers receiving more than two thirds of the funding.

Verizon, Comcast, Windstream, Frontier, and Brightspeed are set to take home more than $156 million of the $204 million pot, with Verizon receiving the most at $78.4 million. Nonprofits and local governments were able to apply, but none were awarded funding. Half a dozen local providers saw $35 million in total.
