Common questions

What is BEAD?

The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program is a federal grant program run by NTIA that pays for internet service to locations without it. Each state ran its own selection and picked providers; the providers build, usually with contractors.

Why is the deployment cost lower than the allocation?

NTIA's June 2025 program changes had states favor the lowest-cost proposal for each area, and many final proposals came in under the original allocations. The numbers here are the figures NTIA published for each state's final proposal.

Where do the fiber jobs come from?

The providers that won BEAD areas hire construction contractors for underground and aerial fiber, splicing, and drops. Each state broadband office's BEAD page names the providers selected; those are who to call about sub work.

How current is this?

Figures come from NTIA's state pages and final proposal overviews, pulled 2026-09-21. Each state page shows NTIA's own update date and links to the source.
