Earlier last month, the Arkansas State Broadband Office released the state s new state broadband map. The new state broadband map can be accessed on the office s website at broadband.arkansas.gov, or by clicking here. In conjunction with its release, the office launched the state s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) mapping challenge process on Wednesday, March 20. For the first time in Arkansas history, the state s new broadband map will be able to be challenged for inaccuracies in advance of the state awarding additional broadband infrastructure grants.
