How Local Governments Can Stay Involved in NTIA’s BEAD and Digital Equity Programs
Counties have a critical role to play in ensuring their communities have access to affordable and reliable high-speed Internet. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment and Digital Equity Programs, authorized under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are groundbreaking programs that will not only connect all Americans to the Internet but also give them the tools and skills to use it. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is offering this webinar to help local government leaders understand these programs and their role in them. This webinar will provide program overviews and action steps on how local leaders can help shape the state of broadband in their communities.
NOTE: This webinar is invite-only for NACo members and is sponsored in conjunction with the National League of Cities (NLC), the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), and other local government associations. This is a third-party webinar hosted by the NTIA and questions regarding registration can be sent to internetforall@ntia.gov
