NTTA Broadband Opportunities Summit
February 21-23, 2022
The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, recently signed into law by President Biden, makes available several billion dollars for tribes to build and expand their broadband networks. The Infrastructure Act allotted $2 billion for the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, $1 billion for a middle-mile program overseen by NTIA and $2 billion for the USDA RUS ReConnect program. Tribes must be prepared when the application window opens for these federal grant opportunities.
The purpose of this summit is to educate Tribal grant applicants about:
- upcoming federal broadband network funding opportunities
- what is required to set up a front office/back office
- how to build a broadband network
- broadband equipment/services necessary to build a broadband network
The Summit will take place in the brand-new Palo Verde Ball Rooms at the Wild Horse Pass Hotel. Our group will be one of the first to enjoy this beautiful new Conference facility. The hotel has made two luxurious break-out rooms and an expansive lawn area available for conference participants to have private meetings.
