U.S. BEAD Program [1]

[]

Date: 2025-03 

The Broadband Equity and Access Deployment program (BEAD) is a $42B federal grant program intended to bring broadband to all Americans. This program was created out of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) which was signed into law in late 2021.

On June 26, 2023, President Biden announced the allocation to individual states of broadband infrastructure funds under the BEAD Program. Each state now has six months to submit their initial proposal to the National Telecommunications and Information Association (NTIA), who is administering the BEAD Program, outlining how they intend to bring reliable, affordable broadband connection to their residents and how they will award funds to subgrantees to achieve their broadband priorities.
