4 More States Get NTIA Approval for BEAD Vol. 1

NTIA said four more states can open challenge processes for the broadband equity, access and deployment program. The federal agency said it approved volume 1 of initial BEAD proposals by Alaska, Missouri, New Hampshire and Vermont since last week’s update to a progress dashboard (see 2403060046). That makes 29 states and territories total. Only Louisiana has NTIA approval for volume 2.
