State Digital Equity Work Continues

State broadband offices have been incredibly busy for, well, years now. At this point, nearly all states and territories have submitted their Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program final proposals to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for review. While they did that, state broadband offices were also advancing their own broadband deployment and digital inclusion initiatives. Some may be old, and some may be new, but all of the following state-run programs have hit the Headlines in recent weeks for their efforts to help close the digital divide.
