Access to reliable, high-speed internet is critical to participating in modern life. From working remotely to education and connecting with others, high-speed internet is essential. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, created by the bipartisan infrastructure law of 2021, provides states funding to help expand high-speed internet access and use. With BEAD funding being largely implemented through state broadband offices, the state policy landscape will significantly impact the future of broadband connectivity. In this two-part webinar, learn more about the BEAD program and the role state legislators can play.
