In a recent round of broadband funding in North Carolina, Brightspeed excelled by securing grants for ten counties, the most of any provider. The overall funding amounted to $63 million through the Completing Access to Broadband (CAB) program, aimed at extending high-speed internet to 30 counties lacking reliable service. Notable competitors included Charter, awarded for five counties, and Focus Broadband with four. The CAB initiative is largely financed by the federal American Rescue Plan Act, reflecting North Carolina's significant federal support for rural broadband due to its substantial rural population.
The state awarded a total of $63 million through the Completing Access to Broadband program, helping providers expand high-speed internet access to underserved areas.
Brightspeed emerged as the leading recipient of grants, significantly aiding in expanding broadband access in 10 counties, reflecting strong support for infrastructure initiatives.
