Sincere congratulations to the 18 states that have now received approval of their #BEAD Final Proposals!  This achievement reflects years of dedication, collaboration, and determination from teams across the country. It is inspiring to see so many states reach this milestone on the road to expanding reliable broadband services for every community.  CostQuest is honored to be able to support federal, state, and industry stakeholders’ efforts through the #Fabric location data, mapping, and modeling that helped inform effective BEAD allocation and network deployment decisions. Each state’s approval marks another step towards expanding much needed internet access, and CostQuest is ready to help turn these plans into real connections for real people to thrive in today’s digital world.
