The Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment (#BEAD) Program will provide historic funding for universal internet access, but with it comes a slew of complex regulations, including the 25% match requirement. Before receiving funding, internet service providers (ISPs) must commit to matching at least 25% of their proposed project costs. This requirement leaves states with legitimate concerns that some BEAD applicants, especially small and regional ISPs, will be deterred from participating in the program, creating a potential coverage gap for marginalized, rural, or low-income communities. To navigate the match requirements, we turned to Tilson's broadband consulting experts to understand strategies states and applicants can take to secure funding. Read their advice on our blog: https://bit.ly/3XHC7lu #onamission #digitalequity #BEADfunding #internetforall

As a homeowner, you might notice construction near your property and wonder what's going on. It's likely because your local government or a utility company is working in an area known as the “right of way,” a designated area accessed to install and maintain public utilities such as electricity, gas, water, sewer, and fiber internet cables. Although construction can sometimes be a hassle, this work is important for keeping the operations of a neighborhood running smoothly. In our latest blog post, we break down how to locate the right of way on your property and why Tilson construction workers use it when building fiber internet infrastructure: https://bit.ly/3KSGWAM. Our mission is to leave the communities we serve in better condition than before we arrived. The only reminder that we were there should be your reliable, high-speed internet. ⚡ #onamission
