    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.
