Public Sector: March 2024

 

Welcome to the 8th Edition of Brightspeed Business Connect.

 

In a world increasingly shaped by digital connections, Broadband Expansion and Access Development (BEAD) funding has emerged as a beacon of progress, offering communities equitable access to high-speed internet. It is imperative to recognize that connectivity access is not a privilege or simply a strategic advantage; it should be a fundamental right.

 

Here’s how BEAD makes a positive impact in our rural areas:

 

• Expands broadband infrastructure.
• Improves internet access in schools
• Establishes access to telehealth services
• Supports economic development
• Streamlines government services
• Empowers the community

 

At Brightspeed, we know firsthand the crucial role BEAD funding plays in bridging the digital divide. Through public-private partnerships there is a sustainable model for what could be done with BEAD long term. Our goal is to continue participating in the same type of public-private partnerships we are implementing today. Join us in celebrating the strides we are making to build a more connected America.
