ABOUT THE NTIA BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
The Broadband Infrastructure Program is a $288 million broadband deployment program directed to partnerships between a state or one or more political subdivisions of a state, and providers of fixed broadband service to support broadband infrastructure deployment to areas lacking broadband, especially rural areas.

- Provide broadband service to the greatest number of households in an eligible service area;
- Provide broadband service to rural areas;
- Be most cost-effective in providing broadband service; or
- Provide broadband service with a download speed of at least 100 Mbps and an upload speed of at least 20 Mbps.
