NTIA Approves Wisconsin BEAD Plan

NTIA gave Wisconsin approval to collect more than $1 billion in broadband equity, access and deployment (BEAD) funds Tuesday. The federal agency approved volume 2 of the state’s initial proposal, granting it access to Federal Internet for All funds. NTIA has approved BEAD initial plans for 29 states, plus three territories and the District of Columbia. Twenty-three states and territories have submitted volume 2 initial proposals and the NTIA expects to review most of them by next month (see 2408010053).
