More than two years after the National Telecommunications and Information Administration published the first details of more than $42 billion of funding opportunities under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program, or BEAD, things are starting to properly gain traction.

And potential bonus opportunities appear to be out there once more money starts to move.
