What is BEAD?

The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (BEAD) Program, funded by the IIJA, is a $42.45 billion federal grant program that aims to connect every American to high-speed internet by funding partnerships to build infrastructure. In June 2023, NTIA announced allocation amounts for all 56 states and territories. States and territories can use their allocated funds for these eligible uses:

  • Planning for the deployment of high-speed internet, including conducting research, collecting data, outreach, and training

  • Deploying or upgrading internet infrastructure in unserved or underserved areas, or improving service to community anchor institutions

  • Installing internet and Wi-Fi service in multi-unit residential buildings

  • Internet access, adoption and use programs

  • Workforce readiness programs to meet the needs of the infrastructure programs

  • Other activities that increase meaningful use of constructed infrastructure, at the discretion of the Assistant Secretary

What does it mean?

For Existing Customers

The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (BEAD) Program, if approved by the federal government, will give CCB the resources to build Fiber to the Home for our existing customer base. This will mean faster speeds, fewer network elements to enhance reliability and future proof network. All at the same price.

For New Customers

The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (BEAD) Program, if funded will mean that those homes that are currently in our legacy footprint will have access to fiber to your home. It improved the value of your home and gives you the best technology for all future internet needs.
