Washington, DC, United States

The second and final funding window for broadband stimulus applications opened Tuesday, Feb. 16. Applicants have until March 15 to complete their submissions, which preparers are working feverishly to align with the latest broadband stimulus eligibility requirements. Given that the federal government is still holding workshops on how best to craft applications, expect a rush of submissions near the end of this funding period. Applications will go either to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) or the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the two agencies disbursing $7.2 billion set aside in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for broadband projects.
