BEAM has received all necessary approvals from NTIA to open the BEAD application portal. The BEAD application portal will open on May 15, 2025. NTIA has notified BEAM that additional guidance is pending that may alter the requirements and scoring of the BEAD program. To accommodate these expected changes, the Mississippi BEAD application timeline will be extended to comply with any additional requirements or programmatic changes as directed by NTIA. After the NTIA release of updated programmatic guidance, eligible BEAD applicants will be notified of a final application deadline plus any additions or deletions required for the Mississippi BEAD application.
