BEAD Director Optimistic About Participation, More Guidance Coming
Evan Feinman said to expect the first BEAD final proposal 'in about two weeks.'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13, 2024 – Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Director Evan Feinman is pleased with the program’s participation as states begin fielding grant applications, he said Wednesday.
“In states that have already begun making provisional subgrants, we’re seeing extraordinarily high participation. Very, very comprehensive projects are being proposed,” said Feinman, BEAD program director at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. “So that makes us really confident.”
Feinman spoke at Tarana Wireless’s Connecting Communities Summit in the San Francisco Bay Area.
