Access to high-speed internet is essential for economic growth, education, and quality of life. Yet, many communities still lack reliable broadband. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program aims to change that by expanding high-speed internet across the U.S.
What is the BEAD Program?
To recap from previous blogs, the BEAD Program is a $42.45 billion initiative to enhance broadband infrastructure in all 50 states and U.S. territories. It focuses on planning, infrastructure deployment, and promoting internet adoption and digital literacy.
Recent BEAD Updates –
- Funding Announcements: 55 eligible entities have received NTIA-approved Initial Proposals. This funding will help build new networks and expand existing ones, especially in rural and remote areas.
- Project Milestones: Many BEAD-funded projects have reached key milestones, including completing initial planning phases and starting infrastructure deployment.
- Community Impact: Early reports show that communities benefiting from BEAD-funded projects are already seeing improvements in internet access and digital literacy.
