This is the second funding round for the agencies' broadband programs. The investment will help bridge the technological divide, boost economic growth, and create jobs. NTIA and RUS also announced the rules for applying in this funding round, which have been modified to make the application process easier for applicants and better target program resources. Join us as Phillip Brown, Connected Nation’s National Policy Director, gives an overview of the Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) for both the NTIA’s and RUS’ second round programs. He will review the funding application timelines and an analysis of how the second round differs from the first round, which was held in 2009.
