Those who gain access through the New Mexico broadband grant will receive three years of complimentary service.
More than 31,000 unserved homes, businesses, farms, and other locations in New Mexico are expected to gain access to broadband via BEAD.
Applicants for New Mexico’s BEAD Program funds must have been approved during the prequalification phase of the process.
The eight New Mexico broadband grants were awarded to Resound Networks and the Pueblos of Tesuque and Laguna.
The $70 million Connect New Mexico Fund is a state-led broadband grant program that was established to expand high-speed internet access.
New Mexico broadband director Drew Lovelace told us that the state’s $675M in BEAD funding is only enough to cover the unserved areas.
