"The Alaska Broadband Office has posted an interactive map highlighting the state's Final Proposal subgrantee awards for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, enabling users to see awardees' winning projects as a group and isolate each project individually."
"In September 2024, Alaska's Broadband Office director Thomas Lochner reported that the state had 20,475 underserved and 37,781 unserved locations, emphasizing the critical need for broadband expansion."
"The Alaska Power & Telephone Company (AP&T) received four grants totaling $4.6 million to provide fiber projects in the Tok and Naukati and in the Goose Creek neighborhood of Thorne Bay, with an additional $1.2 million in matching funds."
The Alaska Broadband Office has introduced an interactive map that displays the Final Proposal subgrantee awards for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program. Users can view all awardees' projects collectively or individually, with details such as location ID, project name, and community. Notably, the map currently lacks project addresses, indicating potential future updates. Alaska has numerous awardees, including major telecom companies and local cooperatives. The state has identified over 20,000 underserved and nearly 38,000 unserved locations, highlighting the need for these projects.
