More Non-Deployment Guidance Not Coming Soon, NTIA Says
State officials were glad to secure coverage for more locations but had mixed feelings about a new policy notice
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2026 – Additional non-deployment guidance isn’t coming right away, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration said Friday.
The agency said Thursday that some of the $21 billion remaining in the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program would be directed toward homes and businesses that still lacked service but were not marked as eligible for bidding last year.
