挑战的过程

head挑战过程

亚利桑那州获得993美元.1 million in federal funding to build infrastructure and expand internet access in rural and historically underserved communities.  The BEAD Program rules require states to prioritize funds in this order: 

1. Connect 供水 Locations (available service is 25/3 Megabits per second or less) 
2. Connect 服务水平低下的 locations (available service is at least 25/3 Mbps but less than 100/20 Mbps)
3. Connect 社区锚定机构 to gigabit symmetrical service (1,000/1,000 Mbps) 

挑战的过程是什么?

宽带权益, 访问, and Deployment (BEAD) Program requires the Arizona Commerce Authority to allow stakeholders to challenge the accuracy of BEAD-eligible locations. Confirmation of locations that currently lack access to high-speed internet is essential for funding to be used to connect these areas.

因此, the State 宽带 Office will administer a Challenge process to verify whether a particular location or community anchor institution is unserved or underserved. 挑战过程 provides an opportunity to correct inaccuracies in the state’s broadband map, ensuring it reflects the most up-to-date broadband access across the state. The updated map will determine which locations are eligible for funding through the BEAD program.

However, obtaining a CostQuest license is not required to participate in the challenge process. This license will permit licensees to view the BSL data on a more granular level and is an important tool for analyzing areas that may need to be challenged. 申请许可证的过程可能需要长达两周的时间.
