SUMMARY:BEAD Broadband Funding Opportunities for Co-ops
DESCRIPTION:Broadband access can be as important as reliable electricity\, yet many communities are still waiting for high-speed internet options. To help solve the problem\, a growing number of cooperatives are either actively delivering broadband services to their members or exploring the business case around those services. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Broadband Equity\, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program has been allocated $42 billion to expand high-speed internet access by funding planning\, infrastructure deployment and adoption programs. \nJoin Teresa Ferguson\, senior director of broadband and infrastructure funding with NRTC\, and Eric Rajchel\, assistant director of engineering with Vantage Point\, as they discuss the ins and outs of BEAD\, how it works and what it takes to be a partner with your state to receive funding. This webinar will help put your system on the path to winning BEAD grants.

SUMMARY:Does NTIA’s BEAD Program Fit Your Co-op’s Broadband Plans?
DESCRIPTION:NRTC’s Teresa Ferguson\, senior director\, Broadband and Infrastructure Funding\, will present during this webinar for CFC members. \n\n\nBroadband access can be as important as reliable electricity\, and yet many communities are still waiting for high-speed internet options.
