Texas Middle Mile (TMM) Program Start typing a search term programs Texas Broadband Development Office Texas Middle Mile (TMM) Program The Broadband Development Office (BDO) has allocated up to $200 million from the state’s Broadband Infrastructure Fund (BIF) for grant awards to fund projects for the construction and improvement of middle-mile infrastructure across Texas.
The program aims to strengthen network resiliency, support open-access networks to increase affordability for end-users and improve high-speed internet access by reducing the cost of connecting unserved or underserved areas to the internet backbone.
The BDO aims to address the needs of underserved Texas communities through the TMM Program by focusing on the following goals: Expand Broadband Availability : Address infrastructure deficiencies to facilitate last-mile broadband service delivery, ensuring greater access to high-speed internet.
Strengthen Network Resiliency : Invest in robust, scalable and future-proofed infrastructure capable of withstanding weather conditions and adapting to long-term community and technological advancements. Enhance Affordability : Lower community costs by implementing broader, cost-efficient open-access networks that enable competitive pricing and pass savings directly to consumers.
In addition to the core objectives, the TMM Program will incentivize projects to include infrastructure enhancements that will support or integrate with flood detection and monitoring systems in vulnerable areas, reflecting the BDO’s alignment with state resiliency priorities.
