Cajun Broadband's Commitment to Connecting Louisiana: Navigating the Future of Internet Expansion
At Cajun Broadband, we're dedicated to bringing reliable, high-speed internet to every corner of Louisiana. You might have heard about the state's ambitious plans to expand broadband access, and we're proud to be at the forefront of that effort.
Recently, the The Current published an in-depth article about Louisiana's pioneering role in securing federal funding for broadband expansion, and the current challenges facing the BEAD program. As a local provider, we're deeply invested in this initiative.
Here are some key takeaways from the article:
Louisiana's Leadership: Louisiana was the first state to qualify for the $42 billion federal program aimed at expanding internet access.
GUMBO Grants: We've been actively involved in GUMBO 1.0, connecting thousands of homes and businesses with fiber internet.
Expansion on Hold: The future of GUMBO 2.0 and the BEAD program is uncertain due to a current review, impacting our ability to reach an additional 10,000 locations.
Our Dedication: Despite these challenges, Cajun Broadband remains committed to providing reliable internet to our communities. We've proven our ability to deliver results, and we're ready to continue expanding our services.
We encourage you to read the full article to understand the current situation and the importance of this program for Louisiana's future.
