Last week for broadband challenges
Challenge portal open through May 14 to help ensure accuracy of broadband service maps
There is one more week to submit a challenge through the Washington State Broadband Office Broadband Equity, Access & Deployment (BEAD) challenge portal <https://2yd1749y.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/h
ttps:%2F%2Fwa.broadbandnavigator.com%2Fmap%3Fzoom=7%26center=-13487590%252C5993933/1/0101018f53991623-56a7e709-516d-446d-9448-25c9fcc59135-000000/lgA5Fu-VKx3RvnB-9lleiEAJYBM=373> .
“The challenge process is an opportunity for eligible challengers to increase the accuracy of our Broadband Service Location (BSL) Map,” said Aaron Wheeler, Washington State Broadband
Office Director. “This is an essential step in our efforts to bring broadband internet to those across the state who haven’t had access to this critical service in the past. Only locations
identified as unserved or underserved will be eligible for BEAD funding.”
The National Telecommunications Industry Association (NTIA) guidance document <https://2yd1749y.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fbroadbandusa.ntia.doc.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2024-02%2F

challenge process in 120 days. We have established the following timeline for Washington’s challenge process:
Challenge process timeline
* Step 1: Challenge process – April 15 to May 14, 2024
