We need your feedback for better internet





Stakeholder engagement opportunity for community anchor institutions



The state of New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) is committed to engaging with the private, public and non-profit sectors to ensure meaningful feedback as we fulfill our mission for achieving universal broadband throughout the state. With unprecedented investments in broadband flowing from the federal level to the states, these engagements will drive action and inform funding requests that reflect our unique needs in New Mexico.



Feedback from New Mexico’s anchor institutions is of particular importance as we identify and assess broadband funding needs and requirements. With this in mind, we hope you will join us for an upcoming listening session designed to gather input as well as inform key stakeholders about the work of OBAE in our efforts to prepare for these historic funding opportunities. Please save the date and mark your calendar for our upcoming “anchor institutions” online listening session and webinar:



Friday, May 19

12:00 – 1:00 pm

Community anchor institutions

Participants should register utilizing the zoom link to receive specific log-in information. Once registered, you will receive confirmation and details for attending the zoom meeting.



Finally, please save the date May 24 for a statewide “Internet for All” summit hosted by OBAE in coordination with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The event at Buffalo Thunder in Santa Fe will include state and local officials and is a chance to learn about the latest in funding opportunities and broadband initiatives. To stay up to date about the event and register to attend, you can find more information<https://connect.nm.gov/statewide-summit.html> on our website.
