Rural Broadband Expansion
Bridging the Digital Divide. Creating Economic Opportunity for Unserved and Underserved Communities
Funds Available for Broadband Expansion.
Broadband access in rural areas is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation, education, telehealth, telework, and lower unemployment rates. Federal and State governments have embarked on groundbreaking programs furnishing loans and grants in excess of $65 billion to fund the costs of construction, improvement, or acquisition of facilities and equipment needed to provide broadband service in eligible rural areas. Some examples of such programs are:
The End-To-End Process is Complex.
Service providers manage day-to-day activities well
and have well-established workflows. However, when
a large grant for network expansion is awarded,
organizations need to adapt and develop new
processes to enable them to define and manage new
or expanded workflows and achieve new milestones. Quickly developing or revising processes can be
critical to meet grant deadlines such as filing
compliance reports on time to avoid penalties.
We Are Here to Assist You.

providers fast track the acquisition of grant funds such
