RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Federal Communications Commission is targeting $2.1 million toward boosting access to high-speed Internet to rural Virginians.

The FCC’s Connect America Fund will help CenturyLink Inc. connect more than 2,000 locations statewide to broadband service. Under the deal, CenturyLink must complete two-thirds of its new broadband installations within two years, and the rest by the third year.
