Spotlight on Commerce: Scott Woods, Senior Broadband Program Specialist, NTIA

I am a Senior Broadband Program Specialist with the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) BroadbandUSA Program promoting the expansion of broadband access across America. In my role, I manage the BroadbandUSA Technical Assistance Program and serve as a principal liaison between BroadbandUSA and key strategic partners and external stakeholder groups.  This includes representatives from state and local governments, telecommunications companies, for-profit and non-profit corporations and colleges and universities. Prior to my BroadbandUSA management responsibilities, I also worked to increase broadband access and oversaw  numerous broadband  network  projects  within the  Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), including projects in CA, AZ, VA, GA, FL, LA, TX, WV, AR, HI, PR, and the USVI.
