Construction began Thursday near Poway on the first leg of a 10,000-mile-long broadband network intended to provide high-speed internet service options to everyone in the state.'California is now one step closer to making the digital divide a thing of the past,' Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. "`We're starting construction today to get affordable high-speed internet in every California home because livelihoods depend on access to a reliable and fast internet connection.'This is about ensuring that all Californians, no matter the ZIP code they call home, can be part of the Golden State's thriving and diverse economy,' he said.
