Help Us Improve Guam’s Internet – Get Involved in the BEAD Challenge Process!

The future of Guam’s internet is in your hands. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Challenge Process empowers our community to shape the island’s digital future. Learn how you can participate and ensure every resident has access to fast, reliable internet.

Our goal is to close the digital divide on Guam. Through the BEAD Challenge Process, we can identify areas where internet access is slow or unavailable and work together to bring high-speed broadband to every corner of the island. Your input matters—whether you're a business, nonprofit, or a resident, you can make a difference.

 

Stay tuned! We’ll be announcing the launch date for the Challenge Process soon. Follow us on social media or check back here for updates.

"The Bureau of Women's Affairs fully supports the Guam Broadband Infrastructure Five-Year Action Plan. This plan's focus on bringing broadband connectivity to all sectors of the island - especially to the economically disadvantaged - will help to bridge a major gap through the opportunities we create for people when we provide them with connectivity. Opportunities for improved access to education, to needed resources, and to more secure ways of keeping connected to each other. This plan will literally open up a whole new world to so many of our people."
