Texas has unveiled its Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program and the Texas Match Assistance Program (TMAP). The purpose is to deploy broadband service to unserved or underserved locations, allowing additional sites under specific conditions. Applicants must justify their requests and potentially face funding limitations. Emerging low earth orbit providers have unique requirements, including a ten-year service commitment. The evaluation considers minimal funding, affordability, fair labor practices, and various secondary factors, ensuring comprehensive project readiness and effectiveness in extending broadband access.
The NOFA for the BEAD and TMAP programs aims to expand broadband access to unserved or underserved areas in Texas, encouraging project inclusivity and affordability.
Eligible projects must focus on deploying internet service to all listed broadband serviceable locations, with provisions for including additional areas under stringent guidelines.
