A Guide to Using the Broadband Nation Web Pages

As the U.S. sets out to reach the goal of connecting everyone nationwide to broadband, Telecompetitor’s new online resource, Broadband Nation, is your guide to federal and state broadband initiatives.

The Broadband Nation web pages contain a wealth of information about state broadband funding programs, including links to funding program rules, funding awards, state broadband offices and Telecompetitor news coverage. All organized by state and frequently updated.

The Landing Page

The starting point is the Broadband Nation landing page. There you will find information about federal programs that are providing funding and guidance for the state programs.

You’ll also see the amount of funding allocated to each state in the upcoming $42.5 billion Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program.

Be sure to scroll down on the main Broadband Nation page for Telecompetitor coverage about broadband news impacting the entire nation.

Individual State Pages

To get to resources for your state, click on your state on the interactive map on the landing page or on the drop-down menu, which is also on that page.

Once you get to your state page, you’ll see links to broadband deployment funding programs that have been announced for the state. If rules have been released and/or awards made, you’ll find links to them. You’ll also find a link to the website of the state broadband office.

And please scroll down on an individual state’s page to find Telecompetitor news coverage pertinent to that state.

Here’s a link to the Indiana page as an example.

Be sure to bookmark your state page and consider bookmarking the main Broadband Nation landing page as well.

The Newsletter

Twice monthly, we’ll be sending you our latest coverage of state and federal broadband deployment news in the Broadband Nation newsletter. If you’re a Telecompetitor subscriber, you’re automatically subscribed to the newsletter. If you’re not, you can subscribe at this link. We think you’ll find the newsletter valuable, but if you don’t, you can unsubscribe at any time.

We hope you will find the Broadband Nation website valuable. We welcome your feedback on it and on the companion newsletter.
