Stories from NTIA’s Broadband Infrastructure Program

The Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP) is a $288M broadband deployment program for grantees who have formed partnerships between a state, or one or more political subdivisions of a state, and providers of fixed broadband service to support infrastructure deployment to areas lacking broadband, especially rural areas. The program launched in 2022 when NTIA made its first awards for the program and almost 2 years in, grantees have lessons to share and stories to tell.
