On September 10, 2024, NRECA filed comments with NTIA in response to a proposal for alternative technologies to receive funding from the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program under limited circumstances to meet the requirement that the program bring broadband to every home and business in America.   NRECA expressed concern with parts of the proposal and urged NTIA to clarify rules to limit areas eligible for alternative technologies and to require those areas still be eligible for federal and/or state funding in the future to bring reliable broadband to these areas.
