As AI becomes essential to more services, infrastructure must be designed to keep critical functions running even when connectivity fails.
More from @jase on what it takes to build dependable infrastructure. 👇

BEAD helped states map where broadband is missing.
AI creates a new challenge: understanding how networks, computing, power, and essential services depend on one another.
In a new piece, @jase outlines the opportunity for broadband directors to lead beyond BEAD: ready.net/blog/what-broadban…

AI capability is advancing faster than the infrastructure it requires in order to deliver what people need, when and where they need it. How do we get our infrastructure ready for the AI-dependent future?

Something important is missing between the computer in your pocket and the town-sized building hundreds of miles away, where AI lives today.
To ensure AI-dependent critical services keep running when the far-cloud is unreachable, to unleash the full potential benefits of AI, America must invest in the missing middle: the near-cloud.

You may not know when your Supplemental BEAD Eligible Location List will arrive, but you know what happens when it does.
Challenge Process Coordinator gives your team one place to manage challenge intake, evidence review, adjudication, and the record behind every determination.

An invoice is never just an invoice in BEAD.
It sets off reviews, compliance checks, evidence requests, and audit exposure. When those steps are disconnected, programs stall.
ARC automates the coordination behind the invoice so execution keeps moving at scale.

Big day for broadband folks and 🇺🇸…
The Success for BEAD Act, aka BEAD II, repurposes billions of dollars of BEAD non-deployment into mission-critical resilient infrastructure, workforce, and AI enablement.
If passed, the must-read act multiplies ROI on BEAD deployment, strengthens America’s vulnerable critical infrastructure, and enables AI where people need it, when they need it — all without spending another dime of public funding (a brilliant adaptive reuse of the already-authorized, already-appropriated BEAD non-deployment funds).
Grateful for @SenatorWicker and his team’s leadership. Great folks like Al David Saab, @BrentLegg, and @SallyDoty brought it to life.

BEAD’s biggest test isn’t funding—it’s follow-through.
Thousands of subgrants = thousands of chances to lose the plot.
Shannan Williams makes the case for standardized milestones to bring order to the post-award chaos.

LEO broadband expands connectivity to hard-to-reach communities, but it also creates new oversight challenges.
The ORBIT Framework gives states a practical way to manage these challenges, ensuring BEAD investments translate into reliable results: ready.net/blog/practical-fra…
BEAD isn’t just about building networks.
It’s about proving they work. NTIA’s new performance measures raise the floor — but states that exceed these standards will define BEAD’s legacy.

☕ New at #TPRC53!
Kick off Friday, Sep 19 @ 8:15am: America’s Fragile Infrastructure in the Age of AI with @jase Wilson, Co-Founder of @readydotnet
AI ambitions depend on resilient networks—come hear why infrastructure is the key. 🚀
Full details: tprcweb.com/new-coffee-talk
Last week in DC, leaders like @BrentLegg + @EFeinman discussed making America’s digital backbone resilient & why BEAD non-deployment is a rare chance to do it.
The future of non-deployment funding is undecided. It's time to push for resilience.

"Critical infra is no longer safe" 💯
Working on this @readydotnet
Refreshing to see a VC who gets the vulnerable physical layer. thehill.com/opinion/5313034-…
Today, we pause to honor those who gave everything for our country. Your sacrifice is never forgotten. 🇺🇸
It's time for Congress to recognize digital resilience as a national security imperative. The backbone of America’s infrastructure is exposed, and we need bold, coordinated action to protect it.
