IBO Challenge Process Timeline
Indiana’s Challenge Process will begin on March 4, 2024. Challenges will now be accepted until April 17, 2024. The IBO has partnered with Ready.net, a software service that will provide a portal through which permissible challengers can register and submit challenges. Pre-registration is available here.
Pre-Registration is open for the Indiana BEAD Challenge Process!
The IBO has opened pre-registration for the Challenge Process. Pre-registration provides permissible challengers time to become familiar with the Challenge Portal interface before the official kickoff on March 4th. Challengers should utilize this time to work through their portal and reach out with any questions.
The IBO encourages any interested party to register whether you intend to submit a challenge or not.
The IBO will be hosting open office hours this month.
These sessions are an open forum for permissible challengers and members of the public to ask the IBO questions about the work our office is doing, with a particular focus on the upcoming BEAD Challenge Process.
Sessions will be held from 2 - 3pm ET.
All are welcome during any session to speak with our broadband experts! See you there!
