Microsoft, Nextlink to offer internet to rural communities in 6 states

Microsoft Corp. is teaming up with Nextlink Internet to deliver high-speed internet to rural communities in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.

Through the partnership, Nextlink will deploy a variety of broadband connectivity technologies, including wireless technologies leveraging TV white spaces, to bring select markets in these areas under coverage.

Nextlink will continue its deployments in Texas and Oklahoma. The internet service provider will begin deployment efforts in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois with rollouts planned through 2024.

The collaboration is part of the Microsoft Airband Initiative, which aims to provide broadband access to more than 3 million unserved people in rural America by July 2022.
