From the meeting
At its July 1, 2026 meeting the VRBI Standing Committee discussed the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) broadband infrastructure grant program. Members were told additional information about the application period and eligible funding locations was expected by the committee's October meeting, and funding may not become available until late 2027. The Broadband Consortium of the Pacific Coast had recently received renewed funding and was expected to resume regional broadband infrastructure data presentations.
