NEFB Urging Members To Check Broadband Map For Accuracy Of Data On High-Speed Internet Access

NEFB Urging Members To Check Broadband Map For Accuracy Of Data On High-Speed Internet Access


Expanding rural connectivity to secure high-speed, high-quality internet access statewide is a policy priority for Nebraska Farm Bureau. Last year, NEFB helped secure $405 million in funding to expand broadband to every acre.

Under the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, Nebraska will receive just over $405 million in federal dollars to connect every household and business who does not yet have access to high-speed internet. How these dollars will be spent is determined by the accuracy, or inaccuracy, of the Nebraska Broadband Availability Map.

Nebraska Farm Bureau is asking its members to examine the official map to double-check whether is accurately describes their access to high-speed internet. According to the Nebraska Broadband Office, the best way to ensure that a location is eligible for funding is to check the map and the status of service to a specific home, ranch, or farm.
