CSAC staff would like to share that the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) will host a second webinar
series, BEAD Challenge Portal Pre-Registration, Tier D/E
CostQuest Licenses, and Portal Overview, on May 8 from 10:00
a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The webinar’s focus is the Broadband
Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Challenge Process.
The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD)
Program Challenge Process allows stakeholders the
opportunity to contribute to the development of the FCC Broadband
Map by submitting data to determine whether a broadband location
should be categorized as served, unserved, or
underserved for BEAD funding eligibility.
Attending this webinar will give attendees practical
knowledge on how to prepare for the Challenge
Process. This includes obtaining a Tier D or Tier E
CostQuest license, acquiring an FCC FRN, pre-registering for the
represented organization in the challenge portal, understanding
the challenge portal, and submitting a challenge. These steps are
crucial for your active participation in the Bead Challenge
Process.
