SUMMARY:FFB Week 5 - The Critical Role of the Broadband Fabric and Precision Data for Funding Programs
DESCRIPTION:CostQuest’s upcoming webinar titled “The Critical Role of the Broadband Fabric and Precision Data for Funding Programs” will delve into the critical roles and evolution of the key aspects driving broadband deployment and funding initiatives\, including: \n-History of Broadband Data and Geography\n-Broadband Fabric Improvement Process & Changes Between Versions\n-Federal & State-Level View of BEAD Funding Implementation\n-Real-World State Program Examples \nGet an inside look from Jim Stegeman\, the expert leading the creation of the Fabric data and cost models that support government funding and ISP broadband deployment initiatives. \nGuest Presenter: Jim Stegeman\, CEO\, CostQuest Associates \nJim Stegeman leads a firm of geospatial\, data scientist\, IT\, costing\, and valuation experts. He has testified before Congress multiple times and is a recognized expert behind the development of the latest generation economic cost models and data used across telecommunications companies and governments for broadband deployment analysis and valuation. Jim leads the design and implementation of the Fabric locational data adopted by the FCC for the National Broadband Mapping effort\, which is driving the allocations for NTIA’s BEAD program. Jim provides his expertise on the utilization of the Fabric to develop national fiber to the premise costs for NTIA. He also led the design and implementation of the Connect America Cost Model that is still used in the FCC’s CAF program to disburse $1.5B annually to fund broadband deployment. \n		\n					\n				Register Now
