The Navajo Nation Broadband Office (NNBO) was established to provide the Navajo Nation Residents with access to affordable high-speed broadband connectivity by developing a comprehensive strategic broadband plan for the Nation and working with the Navajo Nation along with outside vendors, to achieve these broadband initiatives for the Navajo people.

• The Navajo Nation's Telecommunication Regulatory Commission will assist the NNBO with the development of proposed laws, regulations, policies, and procedures that will govern how the NNBO Office will manage and oversee current and future broadband infrastructure projects that will facilitate the Navajo Nation's control over its broadband goals.

  
  
  

• The NNBO will represent the Navajo Nation government’s best interests in negotiating with developers seeking to provide broadband services in the Navajo Nation by; centralizing and streamlining the planning, actively seeking funding, serving as the sole conduit of information regarding funds for broadband infrastructure projects in the Navajo Nation. Including but not limited to, maps, access points, connection speeds, rights-of-way (ROW), and lease and connection rates for all existing and future broadband infrastructure projects on the Navajo Nation.

  
  
  

• The NNBO may serve as a co-designee on grants for the development of broadband infrastructure projects on the Navajo Nation by entities within, owned, and/or controlled by the Navajo Nation government.
