InCoax analysis flags 86,402 potential BEAD permitting events, urges MDU coax reuse to curb build needs

• InCoax analysis flagged permitting as a key execution risk as BEAD shifts from planning to construction in 2026.
• Broadband Expanded and NYLS analysis identified 86,402 potential permitting events across 6,933 BEAD project areas.
• More than half of projects face over 10 permitting events; the median project involves eight separate authorities.
• InCoax highlighted 23,566 BEAD-awarded MDUs with at least five units, covering 313,059 apartments, as a key activation bottleneck.
• Reuse of in-building coax via Fiber Access Extension could cut in-building construction, reducing incremental permits, inspections, coordination, and disruption.
