NCTA Statement on Revisions to the Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment (BEAD) Program

“We welcome changes to the BEAD program that will make the program more efficient and eliminate onerous requirements, which add unnecessary costs that impede broadband deployment efforts. These updates are welcome improvements that will make it easier for providers to build faster, especially in hard-to-reach communities, without being bogged down by red tape. Delivering universal connectivity is a national priority, and these reforms move us closer to achieving that mission.”
