SUMMARY: Federal funding for high-speed internet in Louisiana is uncertain following President Trump’s 13-day pause on federal grant spending. The state was set to receive $1.3 billion for broadband development, aimed at increasing access for 140,000 customers. Local Broadband companies, like Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative, are eager to enhance internet services in rural areas. State officials emphasize the importance of broadband for competitiveness, especially for students. Despite the funding freeze until February 10, leading figures remain hopeful that Louisiana’s efficient track record in broadband deployment will secure the necessary funds to continue progress in internet access.
