Advocacy & Public Policy

Public policy advocacy is core to the work of the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA) as we look to connect every American to fiber broadband. At both the federal and state levels—engaging Congress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the White House, and key agencies—FBA leads the charge to overcome barriers and accelerate fiber deployment.

FBA and our 600+ members are dedicated to accelerating the deployment of fiber broadband networks—the essential foundation for ensuring digital opportunity today and in the future. Together, we share a mission to close the digital divide, advance smart policies that enable future-proof networks, and support the technologies that depend on them, including artificial intelligence. By expanding participation in the digital economy, strengthening communities, and driving innovation, fiber unlocks economic growth for families, businesses, and communities across America.

Fiber Day on the Hill

Fiber Day on the Hill is an opportunity to participate in demo stations presented by FBA members that explain what fiber is and how it improves U.S. households, communities, and the economy – including facilitating 5G, precision agriculture, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. The demos also include an opportunity to learn how to splice fiber and demonstrate the environmental and sustainable benefits of fiber and how fiber technology is able to scale and power future connectivity like quantum computing.
