Fast, Reliable, and Affordable Internet
for Every Home, Farm, and Business. 

Missouri will soon have more money for broadband than ever before. When determining how this money will be used, the state government is required to incorporate local input. This means that each Missourian — including you — can influence the largest-ever investment in Missouri’s broadband. 

If you’ve ever wanted faster, more reliable, or more affordable internet, now is the time to get it!

Show Me Broadband was created to help Missourians make the most of this opportunity. We encourage ALL Missourians — no matter your level of broadband experience — to join. 

Hundreds of thousands of Missourians lack fast, reliable, affordable internet.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make Missouri’s broadband service meet Missouri’s needs.

Missouri to DC: Give Missouri the Opportunity to Succeed and Let Us Finish our BEAD Plan

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has indicated he will make fundamental changes to the $42 billion Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. Changes such as giving a stronger preference for satellite internet, could force states to restart the broadband grant programs.

On March 27, more than 60 Show Me Broadband members including stakeholders, state legislators, and others from Missouri, sent Secretary Lutnick a letter requesting that any BEAD changes be optional, not mandatory. Mandating changes could upend the rules of the state broadband program and Missouri is nearing the end of its process. Missouri developed a plan that fit Missouri and we want the opportunity to finish it and provide the best broadband to all Missourians.
