Original Note:
Evan Feinman's BEAD program, led by the NTIA and advocated by VP Kamala Harris, has been delayed due to slow development of broadband maps, bureaucratic hurdles, and state-level back-and-forth on regulatory compliance. Funding distribution is expected to ramp up by 2026. https://www.ntia.gov/funding-programs/internet-all/broadband-equity-access-and-deployment-bead-program https://broadbandbreakfast.com/dems-levin-defend-bead-in-house-hearing/ https://heartlanddailynews.com/2024/09/broadband-program-of-42b-criticized-in-house-hearing/
