Comcast Urges BEAD Surplus Funds for Broadband Deployment

Comcast Corporation said it is moving into the execution phase of the federal BEAD broadband program after NTIA approved most states’ funding proposals, noting Comcast is a BEAD awardee in 34 states. The company warned that permitting delays, utility pole attachment issues, and easements and rights-of-way are key obstacles that could slow deployments. Comcast also argued that roughly $21 billion in unspent BEAD reserve funds should be used to remove these barriers and speed rural broadband builds, cautioning that alternative uses such as commercial cell towers could divert resources from connecting unserved communities.
