General Overview

The Office of Infrastructure Policy and Development (OIPD) leads Guam’s broadband planning and infrastructure strategy under the federal BEAD program.

This work focuses on improving access and reliability of internet service across the island, while building long-term infrastructure to support Guam’s future connectivity needs.

OIPD is responsible for coordinating broadband deployment efforts, aligning local implementation with federal BEAD requirements, and ensuring that infrastructure investments are efficient, sustainable, and responsive to Guam’s unique geographic and operational environment.

To meet this goal, OIPD is strengthening Guam’s broadband foundation by:

• Identifying and closing service gaps in unserved and underserved areas
• Aligning infrastructure development with federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) standards
• Improving service reliability and network resiliency

This plan outlines the priorities, implementation actions, and intergovernmental coordination required to advance universal broadband service. Success will depend on strong collaboration with:

• The people of Guam
• The Guam Legislature
• The Judiciary of Guam
• Village Mayors and municipal leadership
• Public utilities and Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs)
• Broadband carriers and technology partners
