NTCA Calls for Accountability and Transparency in Measuring BEAD Performance

In a letter to NTIA, NTCA supported the agency's focus on accountability in the BEAD program but urged it to enhance transparency by publicly releasing detailed, subgrantee-level performance testing results. NTCA argued that publishing metrics such as speeds, latency and availability would allow policymakers and consumers to assess program outcomes and incentivize providers to deliver on service commitments.
