State broadband officials reacted to awards from the Broadband, Equity, Accessibility, and Deployment grant program with a mix of excitement and curiosity.

Nineteen states are set to receive more than $1 billion for high-speed internet deployment from the $42.5 billion BEAD grant program.

President Biden called the $42.5 billion Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment program a "bold" step toward universal high-speed internet access by 2030.

The Biden administration announced funding for 35 middle mile broadband projects as part of its $45 billion "Internet for All" program.

The North Carolina broadband office says it added more unserved locations to the FCC's national broadband map than any other state.

The FCC published the first major update to its national broadband map, which the NTIA is using to determine states' broadband grants.

NTIA Administrator Alan Davidson told House members that states can use federal broadband grants on more than just fiber networks.

"You can get screwed if you don’t act fast," an executive of a company that builds software for ISPs told the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

The NTIA has finished awarded planning grants for the "Internet for All" program, but scrutiny is mounting over the FCC's new broadband map.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced another batch of broadband planning grants for states.
