Resilient, intelligent critical infrastructure. Connect & Protect America 🇺🇸

[readydotnet @readydotnet]

An invoice is never just an invoice in BEAD.

It sets off reviews, compliance checks, evidence requests, and audit exposure. When those steps are disconnected, programs stall.
ARC automates the coordination behind the invoice so execution keeps moving at scale.

Big day for broadband folks and 🇺🇸…
The Success for BEAD Act, aka BEAD II, repurposes billions of dollars of BEAD non-deployment into mission-critical resilient infrastructure, workforce, and AI enablement.

If passed, the must-read act multiplies ROI on BEAD deployment, strengthens America’s vulnerable critical infrastructure, and enables AI where people need it, when they need it — all without spending another dime of public funding (a brilliant adaptive reuse of the already-authorized, already-appropriated BEAD non-deployment funds).

Grateful for @SenatorWicker and his team’s leadership. Great folks like Al David Saab, @BrentLegg, and @SallyDoty brought it to life.

BEAD’s biggest test isn’t funding—it’s follow-through.

Thousands of subgrants = thousands of chances to lose the plot.

Shannan Williams makes the case for standardized milestones to bring order to the post-award chaos.

LEO broadband expands connectivity to hard-to-reach communities, but it also creates new oversight challenges.

The ORBIT Framework gives states a practical way to manage these challenges, ensuring BEAD investments translate into reliable results: https://t.co/K4W7AtCJN7

BEAD isn’t just about building networks.

It’s about proving they work. NTIA’s new performance measures raise the floor — but states that exceed these standards will define BEAD’s legacy.

Last week in DC, leaders like @BrentLegg + @EFeinman discussed making America’s digital backbone resilient & why BEAD non-deployment is a rare chance to do it.

The future of non-deployment funding is undecided. It's time to push for resilience.

Today, we pause to honor those who gave everything for our country. Your sacrifice is never forgotten. 🇺🇸

[readydotnet @readydotnet]

It's time for Congress to recognize digital resilience as a national security imperative. The backbone of America’s infrastructure is exposed, and we need bold, coordinated action to protect it.

Did you know China has an “off switch” for 🇺🇸 ? This white paper covers critical infrastructure vulnerabilities including fiber cutting, drone-delivered EMPs, and more.

High time we see digital infrastructure including broadband through the lens of national security to be ready for anything that comes our way.

🚨 Midstream rule changes to #BEAD could derail U.S. broadband expansion, forcing states to pause, backtrack, or even restart their programs.

Instead of rewriting the rules midstream, policymakers should support state-led strategies that are already delivering positive results.
