Notice of Request for Broadband Project and Planning Proposals

The Idaho Broadband Advisory Board is requesting proposals from eligible entities on broadband infrastructure needs across the state of Idaho. This information will be submitted in the form of a broadband infrastructure or planning project proposal. Eligible entities include:

• Broadband service providers,
• Idaho nonprofit organizations,
• Limited liability companies,

Qualifying proposals should focus on expanding or extending middle-mile and last-mile infrastructure to connect unserved and underserved areas.
