Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Grant Program</a> to expand critical “middle mile” broadband infrastructure ahead of historic state and federal investments in universal “last mile” access to homes and businesses.<br>
<br>
“Middle mile broadband infrastructure is like the interstate highway system of the 21st century,” said Office of Broadband Access and Expansion Director Kelly Schlegel. “It supports connectivity across our state—and around the country. Robust middle mile broadband
infrastructure will accelerate our push for universal broadband connectivity and it will help us focus available state and federal funds on building out local networks to homes and businesses. We look forward to working closely with our broadband provider
community to identify broadband access and infrastructure gaps, to craft collaborative solutions, and to direct resources efficiently and effectively.”<br>
<br>
The Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) was active on the middle mile broadband front earlier this year. It issued a request for information (RFI) to take stock of middle mile assets and needs across the state, including among public agencies, private
broadband providers, and various other stakeholders. A second RFI was issued to coordinate applications for the Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Grant Program, for which OBAE offered letters of support for applicants—along with the opportunity to forge compelling
cross-sector collaborations.<br>
<br>
In early October, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that it had received 235 applications seeking over $5.5 billion in federal grant support—confirming the staggering need for middle mile broadband infrastructure
investment nationally. Responses to New Mexico’s RFIs confirm our need, as well, for strong investment in robust, redundant, and resilient broadband infrastructure along priority corridors throughout the state.<br>

<em>State of New Mexico Broadband Strategic Plan and Rural Broadband Assessment</em></a>—and anticipates creation of a State Digital Equity Plan and Five-Year Action Plan as required to leverage the state’s full share of federal broadband and digital equity
funding per the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Initial federal funding—along with the robust statewide engagement, data collection, and planning it will support—is expected to commence coordinated, year-long activity in October 2022.</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit; text-align:inherit"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit; text-align:inherit">Although the State Digital Equity Plan and Five-Year Action Plan will guide future investment of federal funds, these plans will be completed to align with and meet similar statutory requirements and legislative
interests established in state law. Much of this work lies ahead, but OBAE knows—through various data sources—that New Mexico faces significant barriers to universal broadband access and true digital equity:</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit; text-align:inherit"><br>
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:inherit">An estimated 196,000 New Mexico households lack access to broadband service of at least 100/20 Mbps—the standard federal benchmark for “underserved” and threshold for use of federal funding.</li><li style="text-align:inherit">26 New Mexico counties are considered to have high or moderate levels of “digital distress”—that is, significant households relying upon mobile broadband and/or lacking access to computing devices.</li><li style="text-align:inherit">Demand among qualifying New Mexico households for the Affordable Connectivity Program (formerly the Emergency Broadband Benefit) is considerable, with the state consistently ranking among the top three in participation among households
with school-aged children seeking monthly subscription assistance (now $30 per household, $75 for tribal households).</li></ul>
<div style="font-family:inherit; text-align:inherit">The report summarizes known measures for broadband access and digital equity including OBAE progress toward digital equity planning and programming; similar progress toward implementation of the state broadband
plan; identified obstacles to an integrated system of permits, licenses, and rules for broadband access; recommended statutory, regulatory, and policy changes; and the status of broadband grant programs, including those expanding access, pursuing digital equity,
and supporting local planning. To view the full report, click here.<br>
