The National Telecommunications and Information Administration released a dashboard on July 22 that allows anyone to track how BEAD Eligible Entities are progressing through major program milestones. The updated dashboard tracks progress from submitting challenge process results to completing selection of the Internet Service Providers that will build BEAD-funded networks.
On July 18, PCCA sent U.S. Senators a letter of support for Arielle Roth’s nomination to lead the National Telecommunications and Information Administration after the Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 50-34 vote on July 17. PCCA supports Ms. Roth’s nomination because she understands the urgency of getting all Americans access to reliable connectivity. If confirmed, she can lead NTIA to move the BEAD program forward quickly and unleash long-awaited federal funding to every state to bridge connectivity gaps and ensure that all Americans have access to broadband. Ms. Roth will likely receive a full Senate vote next week.
