NTCA Supports New BEAD Provisions on Provider Coverage

NTCA supports the NTIA's approach to requiring unlicensed fixed wireless providers to demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements contained in Appendix A of the agency’s BEAD restructuring policy notice (see 2506060052), NTCA said Monday. “Even as certain technical parameters may be worthy of further consideration, Appendix A rightly and prudently directs Eligible Entities to gather data to make a more informed, accurate, and granular assessment of coverage capability,” the group said. “This kind of data-driven effort is critical to mitigate the risk that any consumer could be left behind by mapping claims that offer incomplete and imprecise assurances of coverage.”
