ABOUT CONNECTED NATION TEXAS
Creating better economic & life opportunities by expanding access, adoption, & use of broadband.
Connected Nation Texas is a statewide initiative funded by the Texas Rural Funders to support all Texans in leveraging broadband. Technology, especially widespread access, use, and adoption of broadband, improves all areas of life. We invite you to join us in changing communities and lives across Texas.
The Governor’s Broadband Development Council released its first report in November 2020, which highlights the state of broadband (high-speed internet) connectivity in unserved areas across Texas. You can download or simply read a copy of this report by clicking here.
