In order to support broadband adoption and digital skilling, new funding models must be identified, which hinges on contributions from the #digitalinclusion research community. Read Angela Siefer's and Sam Schartman's insights in Broadband Breakfast: https://t.co/OiGLfcKhUT
Congress gave states the right to spend their non-deployment dollars to support the adoption of the networks BEAD is building. Any “savings” from the new rules should stay with the states to ensure residents can safely use these new networks. https://t.co/BpKLgY07rS

“Digital Equity Act is not unconstitutional. Executive order canceling digital equity act-unconstitutional. This is not over.” @angelasiefer@netinclusion
Connections in action! Our GCAMs (Government and Community Affairs Managers) are out at #NetInclusion2025 in #Arizona. Soaking up the insights and connecting with incredible partners. Great energy here at the @netinclusion conference! 👋
