New Hampshire lawmakers request the reversal of BEAD program changes to ensure continued broadband expansion in rural areas.
Quiver AI Summary
The New Hampshire congressional delegation, including Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, has urged U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to reverse changes to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. They claim these changes could delay the distribution of $191 million in federal funds crucial for expanding broadband access, especially in rural areas of New Hampshire.
The delegation emphasized that revised guidelines restrict how BEAD funds can be allocated, forcing states to prioritize lower-cost projects that may provide inferior internet service. They express concern that this approach could severely impact rural communities that rely on high-quality internet connectivity.
In their appeal, they noted that New Hampshire had already developed a five-year plan aligned with previous BEAD guidance and is now left uncertain due to these new federal directives. The full letter detailing their concerns is available for review.
