The NTIA’s release of the Alternative Broadband Technology Policy Notice marks a significant step forward in expanding broadband access to even the most remote areas of the country. This guidance empowers states and territories to leverage funding for innovative solutions like Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and unlicensed fixed wireless technologies, providing greater flexibility and reducing barriers to participation for alternative technology providers. By addressing deployment challenges and preserving taxpayer protections, this notice reinforces NTIA’s commitment to ensuring all Americans have access to reliable high-speed Internet.
