Looking for broadband funding? Here’s a good list of federal options

federal BB fundingNTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration) recently released a report that details lots of federal funding options for broadband expansion, including infrastructure deployment, adoption and digital literacy, public computer access, planning, research and other projects. Here’s how they describe it…

As part of this new initiative, we are pleased to release our Guide to Federal Broadband Funding, a comprehensive manual of federal broadband funding opportunities and information about state and local funding sources for broadband. The guide details a wide range of opportunities. While guide is not meant to provide an exhaustive list of all federal funding opportunities, it can serve as a starting point for communities to explore potential federal financing options.

It is a clean and easy to use directory of financing options – as they note it’s not exhaustive, but it’s pretty good and the report includes a few ideas on where to go for more funding opportunities.
