Governor Brewer has announced that a $39 million federal broadband infrastructure grant has been awarded to Arizona based GovNET, Inc. to build a statewide microwave and fiber network. The network will increase broadband availabilty to all 15 Arizona counties.

Brewer says this will not only create jobs, it will also enhance communication between rural schools, libraries, health care providers and law enforcement agencies. And it will bring high speed connectivity to many underserved areas of the state.
