Fiber Broadband Association, NTCA publish Broadband Infrastructure PlaybookIndustry Announcements, , 2/28/2022
WASHINGTON – The Fiber Broadband Association (FBA) and NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association today announced the release of the Broadband Infrastructure Playbook, a comprehensive guide designed to assist state broadband offices in making efficient and effective use of federal funds made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Developed in cooperation with global telecom consulting firm Cartesian, the Broadband Infrastructure Playbook outlines and recommends broadband grant program structures consistent with IIJA objectives and identifies successful examples from the high-performing state broadband programs over the past several years. The FBA, NTCA and Cartesian will host a webinar focused on the Playbook this week:
Friday, March 4th at 12:00PM (Eastern) The IIJA makes the largest single federal broadband investment in history with $65B in funding, covering four key areas: (1) deployment of future-proof connectivity to all Americans; (2) broadband subsidies for low-income users; (3) accelerating the country's progress toward addressing both broadband access and adoption challenges; and (4) funding to address digital training and literacy. These initiatives are all highly dependent on decisions that each state will make as it determines how to utilize these funds to build its critical broadband infrastructure. Largely focused on the $42.45B NTIA Broadband Equity, Access & Deployment (BEAD) program, the Broadband Infrastructure Playbook shares best practices, guidance on the application process, grant program design insight and recommendations on how to best run a successful state grant program.
