    The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, plans to host seven regional meetings between February and May 2025. These meetings are designed to help grantees of various broadband grant programs, including those aimed at increasing digital equity and broadband access in underserved communities. Each event will end with a regional roundtable where the public can discuss the impact of these programs and strategies for long-term sustainability. The sessions will feature experts from government, academia, and industry and invite both public and private stakeholders to collaborate on making technology accessible to all residents.
