Broadband in Arkansas The state government of Arkansas recently created a goal to bring high speed broadband networks to all rural communities by 2022. Called the State Broadband Plan, it will utilize federal funding to create new lines and access infrastructure to previously underserved towns and areas. Arkansas is on one the least connected states and internet connectivity, especially for schools, has become a priority. Some of the least connected counties of the state include Calhoun, Newton, Stone, and Van Buren counties.
A new law will soon allow small towns and cities to develop their own broadband networks, so long as they have a grant to do so. Specifically it is a repeal of The Telecommunications Regulatory 9 Reform Act of 1997. This development is partially a result of poor connectivity throughout the state. Lawmakers now realize that citizens need high speed internet in order to work.
