The NTIA has released its Notice of Proposed Funding Opportunities (NOFO), which specifies how the $42.25 billion of BEAD funds will be allocated to the states, what types of services will be eligible to receive subsidies, and how the states should go about distributing funds. The rules laid out in the 98-page document will have large and lasting effects on broadband deployment and on how the federal and state governments will interact with broadband providers.
The expanding deployment of 5G wireless technology will revolutionize mobile and home broadband by delivering dramatically increased speed and bandwidth. And innovative 10G technology, being developed by the cable industry, will provide another leap forward.
What kinds of disruptions and transformations will these and/or other newer technologies, on the horizon, bring? How can we ensure underserved communities have access to the benefits and opportunities created by technological innovation?
The discussion will explore the following questions:
• What is 5G/10G?
