NTIA/RUS Rules for Broadband Grants expected any day now….

Created by Wendy Wigen (EDUCAUSE) on June 25, 2009

Word on the street is that the National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) and the Rural Utility Service (RUS) are working very hard to meet the June 30 release date for their long awaited rules for the ARRA broadband grant program. Groups are gearing up around town to analyze them quickly and get help out to those planning to participate in the program. But, don’t be surprised if the release gets postponed beyond the July 4^th holiday recess. Congress will be out of town next week and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to let the agencies have another week to do final edits. Dow Lohnes PLLC and Dow Lohnes Government Strategies LLC are sponsoring a free webinar to discuss the new rules. The webinar will be broadcast on July 2 from 1-2PM ET and recast on July 7 from 3-4PM ET. If the release of the rules is delayed, they will postpone accordingly. To register go to announcements@dowlohnes.com or call 202-776-2919.
