SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 6: Update on Virginia's Fiber Projects and Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 6: Update on Virginia’s Fiber Projects and Initiatives\nVirginia was recently awarded $545 million awards in federal funding through the BEAD program to expand high-speed internet access across the state. The BEAD awards will enable 23 internet service providers to extend broadband infrastructure to more than 133\,000 remaining unserved homes\, businesses\, and community anchor institutions across the Commonwealth.  The Commonwealth is technology neutrality in its approach for expanding broadband\, though fiber projects are still projected to reach the majority of locations. On today’s Fiber for Breakfast\, Dr. Tamarah Holmes\, Director\, Office of Broadband\, Virginia ARC Program Manager joins Gary Bolton\, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association to give us an update on her plans for addressing the digital divide in the state of Virginia.  \nWith Special Guest \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FBA Presents – Is your Fiber Ready for Quantum?
DESCRIPTION:The Internet as it exists today is best described as a network of networks. Historically\, it evolved through the interconnection of smaller localized networks into a web of networks. Can a future quantum internet follow a similar trajectory? How can local quantum networks develop and interconnect to form a large-scale national quantum network? If so\, how can the nation’s fiber infrastructure accelerate its construction? \n\n\nKey Points: \n\n\n\nWhat is quantum networking?\n\n\n\n\nWhy quantum networking is an improvement over existing technology- what can it do that traditional networking can’t?\n\n\n\n\nNetworking technologies required for quantum encryption and quantum entanglement\n\n\n\n\nThe status of quantum network innovation in the United States\n\n\n\n\nAdapting existing fiber infrastructure for a quantum future\n\n\nPresented by: \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
