Upcoming event

The NTIA Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is designed to provide nearly $42.5 billion dollars to expand high-speed internet access by funding planning, infrastructure deployment, and adoption programs throughout the US.

Join Telecompetitor, Jorge Fuenzalida from JLA Advisors, along with Brooke Coleman from Widelity and Rob Falkner from t3 Broadband for a webinar discussion about BEAD funding—and what you need to do to take advantage of this enormous broadband funding opportunity.

Key areas we’ll explore and discuss include:

Counties are preparing for an unprecedented investment of federal funds in high-speed internet deployment and digital equity efforts from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The High-Speed Internet For All Summit will bring together critical federal partners, state broadband office directors, and other key stakeholders. The summit will also elevate the central role of counties in digital equity initiatives to ensure historically marginalized and underrepresented communities receive equal access to the next generation of high-speed internet services.

The Florida Association of Counties is bringing together federal, state and local governments and private organizations to create a smooth download for federal broadband support.

FAC is hosting a Broadband Summit Jan. 26 and 27 as a way to spread the word and connect the agencies and private organizations providing the up to $2 billion in infrastructure funding with the local governments who need it.

NARC’s Economic and Community Development Committee will bring together the nations’ broadband experts to discuss the Federal Communications Commission National Broadband Map and its implications on funding opportunities through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).  

Co-chair: The Honorable Jennifer Robinson, Council Member, Town of Cary, North Carolina; Triangle J Council of Governments; NARC Senior Vice President   

Co-chair: Betty Voights, Executive Director, Capital Area Council of Governments

With the new year, the Colorado Broadband Office (CBO) is excited to launch the Broadband Ready Community Program. This program will create an opportunity for communities in Colorado to become “broadband ready” ahead of upcoming historic federal funding disbursement. Through the past year of stakeholder engagement, we have gathered that local communities could greatly benefit from a guided approach to understanding their broadband needs as they begin to plan long-term projects.
