Idaho Announces List of Prequalified BEAD Providers

The Idaho Broadband Office has announced 43 approvals of applications in the prequalification phase of the state’s Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment Program subgrantee selection. The 43 approvals—some of which are provisional—were from 45 applications that were submitted. The state office stressed that selection in the pre-approval process doesn’t mean that the application will be selected in the final approval process. These applicants are now invited to submit project applications for Idaho BEAD funding, once the application guidelines are released. Once those guidelines are released, the application window will be open for 45 days.
