Tiny Gerlach, Nevada, looks like the ideal place to receive some of
the $42.5 billion in federal funds that President Joe Biden has
targeted to provide internet access to underserved areas.
There’s just one catch: The town of 161, gateway to the state’s Black
Rock Desert, already has broadband access, according to a government
map showing that Bellevue-based T-Mobile provides service there. If
that’s true, Gerlach is unlikely to be eligible for help from the once-in-a-generation program.
