About
Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is a federal grant program that aims to get all Americans online by funding partnerships between states or territories, communities, and stakeholders to build infrastructure where we need it and to increase adoption of high-speed internet. BEAD prioritizes unserved locations that have no internet access or that have access under 25/3 Mbps, and underserved locations that have access under 100/20 Mbps.
