Volume 1 of CBO's Initial Proposal for BEAD was approved today by the NTIA.
Required for BEAD, this volume includes an overview of existing broadband funding and defines BEAD-eligible Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs). It also outlines how Colorado will run its state Challenge Process for BEAD, which builds on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) National Broadband Map.
The BEAD Challenge Process — an opportunity for providers, nonprofits, and local and Tribal governments to challenge what locations in Colorado are listed as unserved and underserved — is scheduled to begin Jan. 10.
Modified 1/5/24 to add link to approved version of Vol. 1.
