Biden's infrastructure bill came with $65 billion to build out broadband access, but connecting every household could take a while.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she is committed to the administration’s goal of universal broadband by 2030, but cautioned that distributing funds from the new infrastructure law to meet that deadline could take years. 

 “I knew the president would be able to deliver on this,” Raimondo said in an interview with CNBC. “We’ve been working on it since I’ve gotten here. We haven’t waited for the bill to pass.”
