Hafa Adai & Talofa Everyone, You are being invited to a new year of weekly BEAD/DE Stakeholder meeting for all Pacific Island Stakeholders.  Who are the stakeholders?  Essentially anyone who uses the internet which is pretty much everyone. This weekly meeting is a way for me to reach out weekly to all the Pacific Island Stakeholders and to hopefully help explain the NTIA grant opportunities as they pertain to the Digital Equity grant, the BEAD (Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment) Grant and the Middle Mile Grant and to hopefully answer your questions or at least assist you in getting the answers you need.  This is a very informal open meeting for all.  If you wish to have a one-on-one discussion, please reach out to me directly. This weekly meeting is open to all the stakeholders from the three Pacific Territories to include American Samoa, Guam, and Northern Marianas.  The Stakeholders may include ISPs, Government entities, Non-Government Organizations, Non-profits, businesses, anchor institutions, and the community at large. Based on questions and discussions, I will make efforts to invite specific guests to future meetings to help in providing technical assistance to some of your concerns and questions. Please feel free to share the meeting information with anyone that might be interested.
