The Federal Communications Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau provided additional information concerning the Your Home, Your Internet Pilot Program and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) Navigator Pilot Program, including guidance to assist prospective applicants in preparing to apply for participation in one or both Pilot Programs. The FCC expects to open the Pilot Programs’ application window, and expects the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau to release the Notice of Funding Opportunity (or NOFO) for Pilot Program funding, in November 2022. The agency will announce further information regarding the application window and other program details in the near future.

On October 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury approved Michigan's plan to use its full Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund allocation to support broadband expansion in the state. Michigan will receive $250.6 million for broadband infrastructure, which the state estimates will connect 67,857 households and businesses—representing 23% of locations still lacking high-speed internet access. This funding will contribute to the state's current programs aimed at closing the Michigan digital divide.

Louisiana officials have rejected a protest from Cable One's Sparklight which aimed to stop the state from awarding a $4 million grant to Conexon to build fiber broadband to 851 locations in East Carroll Parish (LA). Conexon was one of several service providers to receive broadband infrastructure grants through Louisiana's Granting Unserved Municipalities Broadband Opportunities (GUMBO) program as part of a $130 million funding round. But the company was prevented from starting work when one of the state's incumbent providers, Cable One, brought a protest saying it already provided service to the area. That action was met with outrage from the local community, including the group Delta Interfaith which had worked throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to bring high-speed Internet to the area and chose Conexon as a partner. The group even went door-to-door to collect speed test data to prove its residents were not getting advertised speeds by the available incumbent providers, nor could many afford to subscribe to their services. Sparklight provided a "paucity of information" to support its claims that it reliably provides adequate speeds for residents of the region.

The airline industry has begun petitioning the Federal Communications Commission to make permanent changes to the operation of some 5G networks around airports. At the heart of the issue are 5G transmissions near airports in the C-band spectrum. Although regulators have contemplated such operations in the C-band spectrum for years, the airline industry conducted a major public relations push against those transmissions in 2021, under the argument that 5G transmissions in the C-band spectrum could interfere with some aircraft altimeters and potentially cause airplane crashes. After months of back-and-forth on the topic, AT&T and Verizon agreed in early 2022 to curtail their 5G deployments in the C-band spectrum around airports to address the airline industry's concerns. Those restrictions were initially intended to last six months, but they will now stretch into 2023. The airline industry is asking the FCC to make some of those temporary restrictions permanent. However, coverage may be restricted around some airports where there are concerns about 5G interference with aircraft altimeters. The FCC, for its part, is considering new rules around receivers that would allow the agency to proactively go after devices – like aircraft altimeters – that work outside the agency's parameters.
