SUMMARY:FFB Week 10 - Global Optical Cable Demand is Poised to Grow Again in 2024
DESCRIPTION:Global optical cable demand is set to recover in 2024\, growing by 3.9% y/y to reach 557 million F-km\, following a 7.1% y/y contraction in the previous year. While many states have made significant progress on the BEAD funding approval process\, CRU believes its impact on US cable demand will mainly materialize from 2025 onwards. The US market’s mid-term demand outlook is bright\, driven by multiple federal funding opportunities. \nSpecial Guest: \nChenfei Wang\, Principal Analyst\, Head of Wire and Cable\, CRU Group \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FFB Week 12 - AARP's Advocacy for Affordable Broadband and Life After ACP
DESCRIPTION:With the digital divide disproportionately effecting older Americans\, AARP is a vocal advocate for ubiquitous affordable\, reliable\, broadband access and fought for the Affordable Connectivity Program. According to AARP research\, as of November 2023\, nearly half of households enrolled in ACP were headed by adults over 50 years old. As the end of ACP looms\, many who rely on the program fear they will lose vital internet access. \nThis week on Fiber for Breakfast\, we are joined by Coralette Hannon\, Director of Livable Communities for AARP Government Affairs. Coralette will discuss AARP’s broadband advocacy efforts\, the organizations push for ACP\, and how the end of ACP will impact the older adult community. \nSpecial Guest: \nCoralette Hannon\, Director of Livable Communities for AARP Government Affairs \n		\n					\n				Register Now
