A startup called Alaska Tribal Spectrum received a $100,000 grant from the Denali Commission to register as many Alaska Native Tribes during the final months of last year’s application period. The initiative has signed up nearly 70 Tribes.
“We created a website and an application process to make it very, very simple to join a consortium application and get as many people, as many Tribes to grab a hold of for this free asset before, before the window closed,” said Jim Berlin who heads the Kenai-based nonprofit.
Because when it does close, any unclaimed broadband licenses will go to auction to private carriers. Berlin said it was a big push to get rural Tribes with poor internet to enroll on their website. Some faxed applications, others mailed in handwritten submissions.
