Announcement of Proposed Service Areas for NTIA's Broadband Infrastructure Program

The Broadband Infrastructure Program is a $288 million broadband deployment program directed to facilitate partnerships between a state, or one or more political subdivisions of a State, and a provider of fixed broadband service to support broadband infrastructure deployment to areas lacking broadband. In their applications, which are currently undergoing review, applicants indicated their projects' proposed service areas using census blocks. On December 6, NTIA published additional proposed service areas of applications undergoing review for funding through the Broadband Infrastructure Program. The additional proposed service areas were provided by applicants as part of the application submissions before the program’s 90-day application window closed on August 17, 2021 but were omitted in error from NTIA’s first announcement on October 4, 2021. Broadband service providers are invited to submit information about any services offered in the additional proposed service areas by December 21, 2021.
