“The Fiber Broadband Association applauds Hawaiian Telecom’s $1.7 billion initiative to make Hawaii the first fully fiber-enabled state by 2026. We also celebrate North Dakota’s achievement of near-universal fiber coverage. These milestones highlight fiber’s unmatched ability to transform communities with superior connectivity, economic growth, and quality of life improvements.
Hawaii and North Dakota demonstrate what’s possible through bold vision, public-private partnerships, and steadfast commitment to building the critical fiber broadband infrastructure that will spur innovation, drive economic development, and raise the quality of life for generations to come. We are proud to support these efforts and will continue advocating for policies and investments that expand fiber access nationwide.”
