Why This Matters for Rural Electric Co-ops
This is a directory of every state and territory broadband office, maintained by the federal National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). For a co-op in any state, it answers the first practical question: which office administers broadband funding in their state, and who do they contact.
A co-op can use it to find its state office, the named contacts, and the programs that office runs, then start the relationship a funding application will depend on.
Key Takeaways
| › | The directory lists every state and territory broadband office with named contacts, so a co-op can quickly find and reach its own. |
| › | State broadband offices sit in different agencies by state, from commerce departments to public utility commissions, so the directory saves hunting. |
| › | Engaging the right office early matters, since many funding programs are administered by states. |
