This report provides an overview of the work accomplished by OICG across its core responsibilities over the prior year as it administers the federal broadband grant programs of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and NTIA’s broadband technical assistance programs that facilitate access to affordable, high-speed Internet service.

2022 Federal Broadband Funding Report: Investing in Internet for All

May 08, 2023
The 2022 Federal Broadband Funding Report summarizes and analyzes FY21 data collected from across the federal government. Broadband funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was appropriated in FY22 and will be included as part of the 2023 Report. Due to the data collection timeline, Federal Broadband Funding Reports currently report on the previous fiscal year rather than the fiscal year they are released in. To accompany this report, NTIA developed a consolidated data dashboard to assist in the analysis and reporting for FY21 federal broadband investments. The full dashboard with comprehensive filters and data extract capabilities is below, links to the report data in Infogram®, a data visualization and infographics platform.
