The Oklahoma Broadband Office is set to officially launch a series of broadband expansion projects that will bring high-speed internet to 14 counties, with a special focus on underserved areas in western Oklahoma — including Custer, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger Mills, and Washita counties.

Oklahoma's push to expand broadband services with federal funding took center stage in western Oklahoma this week, as eight new projects totaling over $17 million were launched.

The Oklahoma Broadband Office (OBO) has been awarded an $11,233,311 grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to help new internet users effectively access and utilize online services.
