Description	The BEAD program is a $42.45 billion federal initiative created under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to fund state and local broadband and digital equity efforts. It aims to connect unserved and underserved locations to new or upgraded internet connections, including community anchor institutions (CAIs) such as libraries, hospitals, colleges, and public housing organizations. Recent guidance from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has narrowed the definition of eligible CAIs, which has raised concerns among broadband advocacy groups about limiting access to BEAD funds and the potential for leftover funds.
