Loading Events

As the new administration sets its policy agenda, broadband expansion emerges as a critical priority for economic growth, digital equity, and national competitiveness. While fiber broadband remains the gold standard for high-speed, scalable connectivity, the administration is expected to adopt a technology-neutral approach that includes fixed wireless access (FWA), low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and cable network upgrades to quickly and cost-effectively reach underserved communities. Key initiatives focus on expanding rural broadband infrastructure, promoting affordability programs, and fostering competition to drive innovation. But will a diverse mix of broadband solutions be the answer to solving the digital divide?

During this episode of Fiber for Breakfast, Ajit Pai, Partner, Searchlight Capital joins FBA CEO Gary Bolton to discuss the possibilities and challenges this new administration faces, how the funding and deployment might roll out and what he sees happening competitively to the fiber broadband landscape.
