Important Funding Opportunity

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has allocated over $7 billion to the development of broadband infrastructure in rural and underserved areas in the United States. The US Congress appropriated $4.7 billion to establish a Broadband Technology Opportunities Program for awards to eligible entities to develop and expand broadband services to unserved and underserved areas and improve access to broadband by public safety agencies.

Within the Recovery Act, the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is tasked with administering the Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program (BTOP), which will provide grants for expanding broadband services to unserved and underserved areas.

WiNOG will explore the details of this program and discuss strategies for small-to-medium sized service providers to help them capitalize on this opportunity.
