Maine Drafts a Five-Year Broadband Action Plan

All 50 states are currently working on Five-Year Action Plans for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program. As they release draft plans, the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society is sharing summaries focused on how states define their broadband goals and priorities. Last week we took a look at Maine's vision for digital equity and its Digital Equity Plan. This week, we are breaking down what the state plans to do with its BEAD Program funding to achieve universal broadband for all Mainers through its Five-Year Action Plan. Together with a network of collaborators across the state, Maine is committed to a multi-year, multi-disciplinary approach, leveraging all necessary resources to bring broadband to all.
