How are you determining your own BEAD destiny when the future can look uncertain? What steps must you take right now to ensure your broadband business gets its fair share of the $42.5 billion in funding?
On Jan. 6 from 12-1 p.m. EST, join AAPB for a virtual “fireside chat” between Sarah Morris, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary and Deputy Administrator of National Telecommunications and Information Administration (Acting), and Gigi Sohn, Executive Director of AAPB.
Together, they’ll discuss:
NTIA’s short-term plans for BEAD and Digital Equity Act
Funding predictions on what BEAD changes may happen within the first 100 days of 2025
Actions broadband businesses must take now to ensure BEAD funding will happen
Afterward, they'll be joined by Calix funding experts.
