Biden-Harris Administration Approves Louisiana’s “Internet for All” Final Proposal

The Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has approved Louisiana’s Final Proposal for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, a cornerstone of the Biden-Harris Administration’s “Internet for All” initiative to connect everyone in America to affordable, reliable high-speed Internet service. Louisiana’s Final Proposal outlines its plan for using the more than $1.3 billion in allocated BEAD funding to connect 140,030 households and businesses. Louisiana is the first state to have its Final Proposal approved. This is the final step required under the BEAD statute before Louisiana moves forward with signing agreements with the Internet service providers it has selected to build BEAD-funded networks and begin connecting new locations this year.
