But the reality is different. The early days of the COVID-19 pandemic laid bare a persistent digital divide\, as students and families struggled to adapt to a rapidly digital world. \nPHLConnectED—an initiative led by the City of Philadelphia and local partners—was launched to ensure that pre-K through 12th-grade families could access free or low-cost internet services. Central to the program’s success is the City’s Digital Navigator Network\, which provides one-on-one support to help residents overcome barriers to broadband adoption\, such as lack of digital literacy\, device access\, or clarity around service options. \nAdditionally\, the conversation will touch on the City’s new Verizon franchise agreement\, which will bring fiber connectivity to all Philadelphia recreation centers—critical hubs for community access—and why fiber infrastructure plays a vital role in building a resilient\, inclusive digital ecosystem. \nJoin Juliet Fink-Yates\, Broadband Infrastructure and Digital Inclusion Manager at the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Innovation & Technology\, and Gary Bolton\, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA)\, as they discuss the measurable impact of the City’s Digital Navigator Network\, PHLConnectED and  the role in advancing digital equity\, and what’s next in connecting communities to opportunity. \nWith Special Guest: \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-22-phlconnected-philly-empowered-linking-families-to-opportunity/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner-e1737140608224.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T140000 DTSTAMP:20250513T142621Z CREATED:20250506T233601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250513T142621Z UID:10000427-1748437200-1748440800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Fiber Design Services - First Step to Getting Everything Right DESCRIPTION:Behind every successful fiber network build is a strong design foundation. Long before the first shovel hits the ground\, the planning and coordination that happen in the early stages are key to ensuring the project runs smoothly from start to finish. \nDesign services that cover Survey/Locates\, Design and Permitting are not just the earliest stages of building a network but also a keystone phase in overall network build that impacts downstream phases\, most notably and crucially\, the Construction phase. This directly impacts cost and timeline metrics of the overall project. For those relatively new to network building\, or those needing a refresher of the basics\, this is the time to invest in foundational understanding of this crucial phase\, avoid the common pitfalls and ensure a robust foundation for this milestone period of growth in our national telecom industry. \nIn this session\, TELECON will introduce the three main elements of Fiber Network Design Service\, their respective performance indicators and the growing role of automation that is transforming them for the better. A brief look into the dynamics of keeping these tasks in-house vs outsourcing to specialized services partners will be examined to conclude the session. \nPresented by: \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-fiber-design-services-first-step-to-getting-everything-right/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Telecon_Logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250529T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250529T140000 DTSTAMP:20250516T204909Z CREATED:20250516T175133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250516T204909Z UID:10000433-1748523600-1748527200@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Driving the Digital Future of Fiber Deployment DESCRIPTION:Successful fiber deployment isn’t only about construction execution.

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD)\, the construction medium seemingly made for fiber installation\, has desperately been trying to keep up with booming project appetites across America. While micro-trenching and other construction methods are also being employed as part of the fiber construction tsunami\, HDD\, due to its environmentally friendly qualities combined with speedy construction process\, remains the preferred installation method. \nThe need for speed has spread to every corner of the country. Fiber represents the economic engines for small towns as well as huge metropolises. Thus\, small rig HDD operators are being stretched to their limits even as new contractors are entering the HDD market in hopes of riding the fiber wave to prosperity. The problem is that often inexperience brings a new set of challenges to the jobsite. \nAdding to the already red-hot fiber installation market is the pending BEAD funding program for rural and underserved areas. When BEAD does finally start being released\, the HDD market is bracing for another era of accelerated workload demands. \nIn the next episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Mike Render\, president of RVA Market Research and Consulting\, and Robert Carpenter\, Editor-in-Chief of Underground Infrastructure magazine\, join Gary Bolton\, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association\, to share insights from the publication’s 27th annual HDD Survey—revealing a strong market grappling to meet growing demand. \nWith Special Guests: \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-wk-28-the-critical-role-of-underground-construction-in-the-rush-to-install-fiber/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner-e1737140608224.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250715T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250715T130000 DTSTAMP:20250708T165831Z CREATED:20250708T165831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250708T165831Z UID:10000467-1752580800-1752584400@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Improve Your Marketing AND Stop Commoditizing Your Service DESCRIPTION:What does better service mean to your customers and prospects? Send five minutes Googling internet service and you will find what carriers see as their competitive advantage – speed and price. \nSadly\, this breaks a basic tenant of effective marketing: \n\nYou are doing yourself a disservice and creating future churn if you boil down your offering to price\, and in this case speed.\nGood marketing always has been and always will be about promoting benefits. Speed and price are features\, replicable and/or beatable.\nCreating a benefit-based relationship with customers creates loyalty.\n\nIn general\, carriers are doing a lousy job conveying the BENEFITS of their services\, whether they are faster and/or cheaper or not. \nToo often in the broadband industry\, ISPs assume the persuasion’s done/finished because Broadband is a “utility.” Meanwhile\, Consumers consider broadband a “technology” that requires actual benefits to inspire choice and change. \nLearn successful marketing tactics to lead with benefits\, create unprecedented customer satisfaction\, and reduce churn. You will walk away with tactics to increase your marketing value\, drive attention to your brand\, and prevent your business from becoming a commodity in the market. \nPresented by: \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-improve-your-marketing-and-stop-commoditizing-your-service/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Marketing-_BroadbandMarketers_Combined_Logo_400px.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250716T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250716T103000 DTSTAMP:20250714T202830Z CREATED:20250708T153109Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250714T202830Z UID:10000466-1752660000-1752661800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FFB Wk 29 – Continuing to Connect Wisconsin: Strategies for Statewide Broadband Access DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin is working hard to bridge the digital divide and improve broadband access for all residents. While challenges remain—such as limited access to high-speed wired or fixed wireless service in some areas and affordability barriers for many households—the state is actively tackling these issues through coordinated efforts and strategic planning. \nAt the forefront of this work is the Wisconsin Broadband Office (WBO)\, part of the Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin.
