BEAD broadband obligations in Mississippi

One prime award carries Mississippi’s BEAD allocation

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 11.035 meets Mississippi place of performance. The dollar book is $1,203,561,563. The award count is 1. BEAD state allocations typically post as a single large award to the designated state recipient. One prime record does not mean one ISP was selected, and it does not isolate the Delta from the Gulf Coast.

The join does not prove that Mississippi’s unserved-location count, rural density, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,203,561,563. Those are other series. This packet has no project list. Correlation is not causation. Packet facts stop at $1,203,561,563, 1 award, MS, and 11.035.

11.035 is not High Cost USF in Mississippi

Universal Service Fund High Cost (CFDA 32.002) is a different catalog. Mixing USF into $1,203,561,563 would invent a broader telecom total than this cell contains. Facts available: Mississippi, CFDA 11.035, $1,203,561,563, 1 award. FCC map locations and ISP subawards are not in the facts.

With one award, the implied mean equals $1,203,561,563. Downstream subawards to ISPs are not additional prime awards in this extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of passing addresses.

Mississippi geography on the BEAD tag

MS is the place-of-performance code. A statewide BEAD award can still appear as one record tagged to Jackson or another in-state address. Awards coded to Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, or Arkansas stay outside $1,203,561,563 even when a network plan crosses those borders. The code does not convert $1.20 billion into a fiber map.

Mississippi federal spending is the all-program parent. 11.035 is one row on Mississippi programs. $1.20 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Mississippi for the filtered table, CFDA 11.035 for 11.035 without a Mississippi filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,203,561,563.

Reading n = 1 under Mississippi BEAD

One award under $1,203,561,563 implies a mean of $1,203,561,563. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Construction draws can lag the federal obligation by years. The figure is still an obligation aggregate, not an outlay.

Treat 1 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1 finished last-mile project. Later ingests can restate $1,203,561,563 without changing the join key of 11.035 and MS. Without a transaction register, you cannot see whether the row is a continuation, renewal, or correction.

What the BEAD–Mississippi pair does not prove

A large 11.035 total tagged to Mississippi does not measure whether unserved locations fell, and it does not equal miles built. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,203,561,563 on 1 award for BEAD in Mississippi.

Keep both sides of the join: Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment and Mississippi, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,203,561,563 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a construction story.
