SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 15: Smart Funding\, Smart Deployment: The Strategy Driving 100% Coverage
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 15: Smart Funding\, Smart Deployment: The Strategy Driving 100% Coverage\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAffordability and access are converging in New Mexico’s broadband strategy. In this episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Jeff Lopez\, Director of the Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) talks with Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the FBA\, about Senate Bill 152\, unanimously approved by the New Mexico Senate and recently signed by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham\, creating the Low-Income Telecommunications Assistance Program\, the nation’s first state-level\, post-ACP broadband affordability program to help up to 27\,000 families afford service. \n\n\nLopez also discusses federal approval of the state’s $382 million BEAD proposal through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)\, which will connect 42\,500+ locations statewide. He explains New Mexico’s tech-neutral approach — blending fixed wireless\, fiber\, and low Earth orbit satellite — and how affordability and infrastructure together will drive the state to 100% coverage.
