Partnering with Nonprofits Key for Broadband Grants, Says Former NTIA Head

摘要

NTIA history with broadband grants suggests that the vast majority of broadband stimulus money will go to public and non-profit applicants, former NTIA head Larry Irving said in a webinar April 15. Companies historically have succeeded in getting grants by pairing with local and state governments, he said. Public/private partnerships help companies show "public interest," as is required of companies pursuing the $4.7 billion in NTIA stimulus funds, he said.
