NeoNova Webinar Series on Broadband Economic Stimulus Plan

Part 2 July 9, 2009: Who Gets Funded and How do I Apply?

In February, 2009, President Obama signed a $787 billion bill allocating more than $7 billion to be focused on expanding the reach of broadband networks to underdeveloped areas that many telecom providers have yet to serve. In response to this bill, NeoNova sponsored a webinar featuring telecommunications experts from Wiley Rein LLP, a law firm with significant expertise in telecom regulation, discussing the portion of the economic stimulus plan targeted at broadband investment.

Discussion points of the webinar included:

• How the RUS and the NTIA will select the recipients of the broadband stimulus funding?

• What is required in order to apply for the $7 billion in broadband funding?

• Who is eligible to receive funding and what can be done to improve the chances for obtaining funding?

• How do I get help with the application process?
