Belfry Montana

Montana ranks among the lowest in the country when it comes to internet access and speed. Rural areas are among the most underserved. Since 2019, around $900 million in federal funding for rural broadband expansion has flowed into the state. It's starting to make an impact, but much work remains.

Severe storms across Montana over the weekend and into Monday forced some residents to evacuate and prompted a rare closure of all entrances to Yellowstone National Park.
