The data are in: Trump Admin is saving taxpayers billions while achieving universal connectivity. The Benefit of the Bargain reforms brought funding in line with today’s realities, stretched dollars further, and avoided harmful market distortions.
Benefit of the Bargain BEAD reforms, led by @ArielleRothNTIA, removed unnecessary regulation and excessive costs.
Critics predicted disaster, but the data say otherwise.
Most locations will see fiber and the agency is adjusting to new market realities.

Thank you, @ArielleRothNTIA, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information & @NTIAgov Administrator, for joining our TECHtalk!

Thank you to @DailyCaller for highlighting parents’ growing concerns about screen-based instruction in K-12 schools. Yesterday, @NTIAgov filed comments with the @FCC documenting testimony on EdTech's impact on learning & development & the role of federal E-Rate subsidies.
Exposure to pornography, stunted development and anxiety are just a few of the issues that come with the over-reliance on technology in classrooms, Assistant Commerce Secretary @ArielleRothNTIA told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Roth revealed that more than 280 teachers, students and child development experts believe that screens in classrooms harm children’s development and their mental health, according to comments she submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday. This comes as the agency considers reforms to a $3 billion program that subsidizes internet access for schools and libraries.
Roth believes involving parents more in their education may help solve the problem.

All four spectrum bands NTIA identified toward our goal of repurposing 500 MHz for full-power commercial use are now under study—the most federal spectrum ever studied for repurposing. Follow our progress at spectrum.gov. 2/2

Great piece by @AEI’s @ShaneTews on how the Trump Administration course-corrected BEAD, saving more than $21 billion in taxpayer funds while putting the program back on track to achieve universal broadband availability.⤵️
“Directing funds toward network sustainability and operational costs, with states allocating funds from their BEAD allocation, will give local state broadband directors flexibility and discretion in post-deployment allocations to keep areas served well beyond the initial government program.
The goal now is to keep citizens connected by keeping up with technology.” New from @ShaneTews:

At @NTIAgov’s listening session, hundreds of parents, students, teachers, & experts delivered a clear message: federal policy should be grounded in evidence and give parents a greater say over how screens are used in their children’s classrooms. 📚communicationsdaily.com/arti…
A successful SBLN conference in Nashville. NTIA staff & state broadband offices came together to share best practices & tackle key implementation issues—from subcontract agreements, permitting, & grants monitoring to our latest guidance on connecting remaining unserved locations.
NTIA was pleased to support @PDabbar on this visit and further the Trump Administration’s efforts to secure U.S. leadership in 6G.
Chargé d’Affaires Meltzer welcomed U.S. Deputy Secretary Commerce Paul Dabbar to Berlin to discuss the future of communications technology in Europe.
This visit was a great opportunity to implement the 6G Call to Action through collaboration on building secure, resilient, and AI-supported 6G networks to advance our shared prosperity and security.
American leadership in 6G starts with spectrum. 🇺🇸
NTIA applauds OMB’s latest memo, which will drastically expedite the process for repurposing federal spectrum for commercial use—setting the groundwork for multiple 6G auctions in 2028 and beyond. More: ntia.gov/press-release/2026/…
