Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) is one of the 11 most profitable NASDAQ stocks to buy now. Earlier on May 28, Comcast announced the commencement of construction for its next-gen high-speed internet network across 7 counties in Indiana: Fayette, Rush, Delaware, Boone, Shelby, Morgan, and Miami. This multi-million dollar investment aims to connect over 10,000 residents and businesses in these areas and provide them with access to Comcast’s full suite of services.

The project is a joint investment in partnership with Indiana’s Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program, which has allocated $350 million towards improving broadband access and adoption throughout the state. Over the past 3 years, Comcast has invested ~$600 million specifically in Indiana’s network infrastructure, which contributed to its broader national investment of over $80 billion in its fiber-rich network across the country over the last decade.
