Update: The State of Missouri Broadband Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of the MML City View Podcast, we review the state of high-speed broadband access in Missouri and the developments that have happened over the past few months.
Spoiler alert: Missourians have until Jan. 13 to file challenges to newly released maps of broadband coverage in time to be considered when determining Missouri’s share of federal broadband funding. The Missouri Office of Broadband Development (OBD) is encouraging Missourians to make sure their homes, businesses, and communities are correctly represented on the maps in order to make sure those locations are eligible for future funding and to make sure the state gets its fair share.

OBD Director BJ Tanksley joined MML in June to share the challenges Missouri faces with broadband and planned solutions. We encourage you to revisit episode 5 and learn more about how the office of broadband development began.
Today solutions are underway to increase this crucial access for Missourians. BJ will share an update along with Amy VanDeVelde, federal program officer for Missouri with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. They will also share an important deadline coming up where you can reach out and help ensure your home, business and community are covered.
