Response to FCC Action to Modernize Broadband Infrastructure

“Today’s action by the FCC is a win for American consumers and communities. Modern, fiber-based broadband networks are the foundation for economic growth, improved education outcomes, expanded healthcare access, and technological innovation. By streamlining the process for retiring outdated copper infrastructure, the FCC is helping service providers focus their investments on delivering the fastest, most reliable, and future-proof broadband technology available today. The FBA thanks Chairman Carr and the FCC for recognizing the urgent need to modernize our nation’s broadband infrastructure.” – Gary Bolton, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association.
