Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), provides federal funding to states and territories for grants to utilize for high speed Internet deployment, mapping, and adoption projects.
Each state, D.C., and P.R. will receive an initial allocation of $100 million—and $100 million will be divided equally among the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. States, territories,
D.C., and P.R., may leverage initial planning funds to submit a 5-year action plan, which shall be informed by collaboration with local and regional entities. <span style="background:yellow">The remaining funding will be distributed based on a formula that
considers the number of unserved and high-cost locations in the state, based on the maps to be published by the FCC in 2022.</span> The program aims to close the access gap for unserved areas (those below 25/3 Mbps), underserved areas (those below 100/20 Mbps),
and community anchor institutions (1/1 Gbps). </span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
