Incumbent service providers and new market entrants all want a piece of the $7.2B pie, but deciphering the details on how the money will be allocated … and to whom … is difficult and time consuming. Don’t rely on general press coverage or white papers to learn the ins and outs of this game-changing opportunity. You need inside information to ensure your grant proposal addresses the key goals of the stimulus plan’s initiatives and is positioned for funding approval.
Join moderator Drew Clark, founder and executive director of BroadbandCensus.com, and a stellar line-up of Washington, D.C. insiders for a penetrating look at the broadband stimulus plan in this FREE 60-minute webinar. When you do you’ll:
- Understand the rules and procedures the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) and the USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) will put in place to award the funds.
- Discover who will be responsible for mapping broadband – states or private entities? This is a critical determinant of how stimulus funds are allocated.
- Decipher the broadband speed and Quality of Service (QoS) dynamics that guide technology and investment decisions... and the critical differences between “unserved” and “underserved” markets.
- Learn how the new – and still unformed – Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will impact broadband policy and strategy.
- And much, much more.
Drew’s panelists bring years of Washington, D.C. policy experience to the table and they’ll share that with you in this fast-moving, information-packed 60 minutes. The $7.2B broadband stimulus plan is this unique and rare opportunity ... but one that is filled with uncertainty. Don’t miss this chance to cut through the noise and find out the ground rules that will govern how the funds will be dispersed.
