  FEDERAL FUNDING AND STAKEHOLDER WEBINARS

  New Mexico Technical Assistance Program

The New Mexico Department of Information Technology (DoIT) is the
recipient of a U.S. Economic Development Administration grant to provide
technical assistance for entities seeking to expand broadband
infrastructure and services in response to the critical need for
internet access. DoIT has partnered with CTC Technology & Energy (CTC)
to execute this program, the New Mexico Technical Assistance Program (NM
TAP).

DoIT and CTC will host two sessions with New Mexico broadband
stakeholders in support of these efforts. The goals of these sessions

to municipalities, communities, and service providers that may assist
with funding broadband development in New Mexico

  ·      Share information on recent legislation impacting broadband
policy in the state

including the RFI process and services offered

  ·      Engage stakeholders regarding broadband needs and where
technical assistance will be impactful
