How to Take Advantage of Recently Enacted Broadband Grant and Subsidy Programs, and What's on the Horizon

With broadband access disparities placed in sharp relief due to the pandemic, new grant and subsidy programs present the biggest opportunity in a decade (or more) to obtain support for broadband infrastructure expansion and the provision of affordable service.

In this session, we will discuss:

• An update on rules and application processes for recently enacted federal support programs, including: 
  • The FCC's Emergency Broadband Benefit program; and
  • The NTIA's Broadband Infrastructure Deployment, Tribal Broadband Connectivity, and Connecting Minority Communities grant programs
• An overview of potential other support opportunities on the horizon, including:
  • Expansion of E-Rate funding in support of distance learning;
  • Broadband support as part of a Congressional infrastructure package; and
  • Other programs and initiatives
