Hi ,
NTIA published draft guidance that would allow unlicensed fixed wireless and LEO satellite providers to receive BEAD funding. The original BEAD rules favored fiber, but wireless interests have been trying to get NTIA to release more
BEAD money for wireless. These are our comments in opposition to the revisions to the draft guidance to include more funding for wireless.
Here's the draft submission to be filed tomorrow. We are making further edits, and if you have sources for where we need sources in the footnotes, please let us know.
