SUMMARY:FFB Week 40 - The Future of Agriculture Grows on Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Grand Farm is a collaborative network of growers\, startups\, corporations\, researchers\, educators\, investors\, and government partners working together to solve agricultural challenges through applied technology. Based in North Dakota\, with projects and partnerships across the country\, Grand Farm supports real-world testing and validation of technologies like autonomous equipment\, IoT sensors\, and AI-driven tools that rely on strong broadband infrastructure. \nIn this episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Dr. William Aderholdt\, Executive Director of Grand Farm\, joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of FBA to discuss how fiber broadband is accelerating innovation in agriculture. The conversation will focus on how connectivity enables everything from field-level data collection to the adoption of advanced tools across rural communities\, helping bridge the gap between AgTech solutions and the growers who need them. \nWith Special Guest: \n  \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FFB Week 41 - How Speed Test Measurements are Designed to Improve End User Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Data demand isn’t slowing down—and networks can only stretch so far. As service providers race to keep up\, the challenge is no longer just building connections\, but ensuring they can stand the test of time. \nThis week on Fiber for Breakfast\, Bryan Darr\, Vice President of Government Affairs at Ookla\, joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association\, to explore how state broadband offices can stay ahead of the curve. \nWhile fiber remains the backbone of new deployments\, the updated BEAD program suggests a bigger role for alternative technologies than many state plans first envisioned. That shift makes ongoing performance monitoring more critical than ever. It’s not enough to declare a network complete—offices must track reliability and capacity for years to come. \nWhy? Because oversubscription and insufficient backhaul can undermine even the most ambitious projects. And as Darr and Bolton will discuss\, some technologies make it easier to add capacity when demand inevitably spikes. \nDon’t miss this timely conversation about planning\, performance\, and the real-world strategies to keep broadband strong for the long haul. \nWith Special Guest: \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FFB Week 43 - All Broadband Is Not Created Equal: The Practical Divide Between Marketing Claims\, Speed Tests and Delivered Speeds
DESCRIPTION:Today\, many technologies can advertise 100/20 “broadband\,” but few providers deliver those speeds consistently. Consumers are sold “up to” speeds – yet speed test data shows that while fiber consistently delivers as promised\, other technologies fall short most of the time. On today’s Fiber for Breakfast\, Jonathan Chambers\, co-CEO\, Conexon talks with Gary Bolton\, FBA’s President & CEO about how the industry must move beyond theoretical definitions to accountability based on actual\, verifiable performance. The question is simple: are customers really getting what they paid for? \nPresented by: \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
