SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 10: Mission Accomplished – or Mission Abandoned? Life After BEAD
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 10: Mission Accomplished – or Mission Abandoned? Life After BEAD\nAs BEAD funding moves from promise to reality\, what comes next for US broadband? In this timely conversation\, Carol Mattey – industry veteran and founding member/principal of Mattey Consulting LLC – joins President & GEO Gary Bolton of the Fiber Broadband Association to explore the long-term impact of the BEAD program and the future of connectivity. Join in the conversation as they examine whether gaps in broadband coverage will remain\, how LEO satellite services may factor into the equation\, and if today’s 100/20 Mbps standard will be adequate or need to be re-examined after BEAD projects are completed. The discussion also tackles who will ultimately be responsible for closing any remaining gaps – industry\, government\, or communities and whether the FCC’s Universal Service Fund could play a pivotal role.
