To submit a challenge, as per the NTIA guidance, you must represent a broadband service provider, local government, tribal government, or non-profit. It is also strongly recommended that your entity requests an NTIA Fabric License.
The Challenge Process is now live, after your identity has been confirmed, you will be granted credentials to the platform from which you can submit any number of challenges. Review the program overview to the right to see the different challenge categories and types to ensure you submit the appropriate evidence for each. When more than 6 locations serviced by the same provider and technology are challenged in a given census block group, the entire census block group will be considered challenged.
After the challenge window closes in early September, the rebuttal window will open to provide any counter evidence to a challenge. After the rebuttal window closes, challenges will be adjudicated and the updated map will be used as the basis for allocating BEAD funding across the state.
