Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program

 

The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration will provide federal funding for grants to eligible entities for broadband planning, deployment, mapping, equity, and adoption projects. The BEAD program will first focus on deploying broadband service to unserved areas, those without any broadband service at all or with slow speeds. The program will prioritize projects designed to provide fiber connectivity directly to the end user. It also will prioritize proposals that include affordability commitments to ensure that networks built using taxpayer dollars are accessible to all Americans. The BEAD Program next will focus on provision of broadband to underserved areasthose that have access to broadband service of at least 25 Mbps downstream/3 Mbps upstream but less than 100 Mbps downstream/20 Mbps upstream, again prioritizing fiber services that are both fast enough to accommodate Americans future needs and affordable. To the extent an eligible entity has funds leftover after meeting these two statutory priorities, funds will be allotted to connect community anchor institutions such as libraries and community centers that lack a 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) connection.
