FBA Presents – Building Digital Sovereignty: Advancing Broadband in Tribal Nations
October 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Broadband access is more than a utility—it’s a cornerstone of sovereignty, economic strength, and cultural preservation for Tribal Nations. Yet many communities still face complex, systemic barriers to building and sustaining high-speed networks.
Join us for a dynamic fireside chat with a cross-sector panel of experts—from Tribal leaders and consultants to engineers and technologists—who are driving meaningful progress on Tribal lands. You’ll hear from the Choctaw Nation about the real-world impact of broadband on daily life and governance; from ACRS on navigating the engineering and logistical realities of remote deployment; from TICOM on overcoming regulatory hurdles and securing sustainable funding; and from Ciena on the advanced technologies powering resilient, sustainable, and future-ready networks.
