From navigating supply chain challenges to deploying at scale, what strategies will BEAD recipients need to stay compliant, meet deadlines, and remain accountable to the communities they serve?
And for those who didn’t secure funding, what alternative paths remain to build and expand networks in a rapidly evolving landscape?
