The Kansas Office of Broadband Development has submitted the state’s Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) Five-Year Action Plan to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The required action plan details how universal connection will happen in Kansas, and the planned use of the $451 million NTIA has allocated to the state. Submitting the Five-Year Action Plan is a step toward securing federal funding for the state’s broadband initiatives. The plan outlines the path to making high-speed internet available to all Kansans, with a focus on unserved and underserved areas.
