As many of you know, it is critical that we collect accurate data to maximize the available funds coming to the state. Our federal award under the BEAD program highly depends on the number of potential subscriber locations in unserved and underserved areas. MCA needs your help to ensure that the data collected is as accurate as possible.

More than 18 million Americans lack access to high-speed internet, many of them in rural areas where homes and businesses are spread far apart. In a conversation with The Pew Charitable Trusts, Doug Dawson, president of CCG Consulting, discussed the rural broadband market—who provides service, what the challenges are for expansion, and how these networks are funded.
