Mike Houston is an innovative leader with over 25 years of experience in broadband infrastructure, public-private partnerships, and federal funding programs, I work alongside Tribes, ISPs, and public agencies to navigate complex programs including NTIA, BEAD, ACP, CAF, and RDOF. My approach centers on empowering Tribes to own, govern, and sustain their broadband networks.
Bringing a practical, end-to-end understanding of broadband deployment—from planning and funding strategy to construction, compliance, and operations—blending policy, technology, and local engagement to deliver measurable outcomes.
At Tribal Ready, I support Tribal-first go-to-market strategies, partner development, and the deployment of AI- and GIS-driven planning tools that enable smarter investment decisions while respecting Tribal governance and sovereignty.
