FFB Week 45 – Signals of Change: How Fiber is Continuing to Transform Kansas

Kansas is proving that the buck doesn’t stop with BEAD. Across the state, new broadband initiatives are laying the groundwork for a digital renaissance – connecting communities, revitalizing local economies, and creating opportunities that keep Kansans rooted where they are or even draw them back home. From ground-breaking last-mile projects bringing high-speed fiber to rural areas, to the launch of the state’s first Internet Exchange (IXP) in Wichita – a milestone that strengthens resilience, redundancy, and cybersecurity – Kansas is building a stronger, more connected future.

Tune into our next episode as Joseph Le, Deputy Director of Broadband Development at Kansas Commerce talks with Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association to discuss how state leaders and innovators are lighting up the heartland with fiber and redefining what’s possible for Kansas communities.
