President Joe Biden wants to dramatically expand internet access to Americans with a $100 billion investment as part of his new $2 trillion infrastructure plan unveiled on Wednesday.
The proposal also includes investments in the electric vehicle market, which the Biden plan bills as a job creator, and in research and development programs. The plan seeks to close racial and gender disparities in science, technology, engineering and math by proposing investments directed toward historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and minority-serving institutions (MSIs).
