  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, June 6, 2025 – The National Telecommunications and Information Administration released Friday its new policies for the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.\n\nThe agency rescinded its approval of final spending plans from Louisiana, Delaware, and Nevada, which it greenlit under the Biden administration. The new guidance said they, as well as the other states and territories, would have to rescind all preliminary awards and conduct an additional bidding round open to applicants using any technology.\n\nNTIA said fiber projects would no longer inherently get priority, and each applicant could seek to prove it could meet speed, latency, and scalability requirements outlined in the Infrastructure Act to be deemed a priority project.\n\n\n\n_****NTIA's Notice of Funding Opportunity****_\n\n Join the Breakfast Club for Premium Documents \n\n\n\n_****Learn more about Speeding BEAD Summit****_\n\n What is Broadband Breakfast? \n\nThose applications would then be compared on the basis of cost.\n\nThe agency also declined to adopt a national high-cost threshold, but said it “hereby reserves the right to reject” and project or specific connection “for which costs to deploy are excessive,” as decided by the agency.\n\nStates will have 90 days to submit new final proposals, and the agency said it would approve those within another 90 days.\n\n**_Editor's Note: This is a developing story, and will be updated._**\n\n NTIA Rewrites Rules for BEAD, Forcing States to Rebid Broadband ProjectsBut NTIA declines to issue high-cost thresholdBroadband BreakfastJake Neenan\n\n###  _Full story available below to Breakfast Club Members:_\n\nGet Breakfast Club Access Now",
