PA Broadband Development Authority Collecting Feedback for Expansion
|
Community engagement activities will support the development of the Commonwealth’s BEAD and Digital Equity plans.
Harrisburg, PA – Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (Authority) Executive Director Brandon Carson announced today a series of upcoming public engagement activities to support the development of the Commonwealth’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity (DE) program plans. Extending and expanding access to broadband across Pennsylvania and making connection more reliable and affordable is a top priority of Governor Josh Shapiro and his Administration.
The ‘Internet for All: Connecting the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’ initiative aims to reach a diverse cross-section of residents, businesses, and organizations through a public survey and robust schedule of community conversations and roundtable discussions in all regions of the state. The feedback and data received during these events will be crucial to the Authority as it works to minimize Pennsylvania’s existing digital divide.
“Pennsylvanians have an absolutely essential role in helping the Authority develop the BEAD and DE plans and we want to hear from as many Pennsylvanians as possible at our upcoming community engagement events,” said Executive Director Carson. “We’re working hard to make Internet for All a reality in Pennsylvania, and being able to incorporate feedback from our residents, businesses, and organizations is crucial in helping us develop broadband plans that address barriers and needs.”
Community survey to help assess connectivity and digital access and identify barriers. The survey is being released throughout the commonwealth using several deployment methods to broaden its reach. Respondents will be able to submit a paper survey, respond online, or participate via phone. Paper surveys will be available for residents at select locations, including businesses, educational centers, local government offices, social service offices, and healthcare facilities.

Potential Merger and Banking Crisis
|
Bank mergers within the United States have been frozen by capital rules and uncertain regulations. Due to this, U.S. banks could potentially face up to 20% capital hikes under new rules U.S. regulators are pushing to implement. Experts predict that banks will likely hold off deals at least until end of year while they await clarification on the new rules and requirements.
The uncertainty of the potential new regulations for banking is also a deterrent for buyers and sellers, as banks have come to a halt causing lengthy wait times for deal approvals. Deal approvals have been slow in recent years as well, and now with politics presiding over community needs and competition it has created a less than ideal environment for bank mergers. These factors can impact the economy.
The Global regulators agreed to give banks a transition period to meet the new requirements and set the beginning of 2025 as the target for having the new regulations fully implemented. Experts predict deals to be stalled during this transition period through 2026. Once the capital requirements are clarified, transactions and deals may surge again with banks having assets near the $100 billion dollar threshold, however, these banks will be subject to harsher rules and regulations.
