“North Carolina and California are the latest states to receive approval for the Initial Proposal for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program, bringing the tally up to 51 approvals. That means we only have five more states/territories to go until we are officially past the Initial Approval step/ The Fiber Broadband Association would like to congratulate these two newly approved states and the NTIA for its diligence in awarding U.S. states and territories the funding needed to close the digital divide and truly deliver ‘Internet for All.’ As more regions receive approvals, we are that much closer to ensuring each American has access to fiber broadband and the opportunities that are presented with a reliable connection.” – Gary Bolton, President & CEO, Fiber Broadband Association

Power: Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Major ISPs These recognitions affirm the commitment and passion we put into every kilometre of fibre laid.

ISPs must continue seeking ways to differentiate beyond offering faster speeds for the same prices, especially with the increasingly competitive gigabit broadband market. According to research conducted by Omdia, it is expected that by 2028, the home market will be worth $632 billion, with a 17% growth in annual revenue since 2023. Fixed broadband remains the largest market in this sector and is expected to be worth $128 billion by 2028, while online video will be worth $89 billion. For more on the key trends in the North American residential broadband and connected home markets, check out my latest Fiber Broadband Association article. ⬇️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dWyxBGpU

A new economic study from the Center on Rural Innovation highlights the transformative impact that fiber broadband, provided by local BSPs, has on rural communities. 📝 Co-sponsored by Calix, NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, and Fiber Broadband Association, the study revealed that communities benefit economically when local BSPs provide services that go beyond fast internet and address broader subscriber needs. Our customers leverage the Calix Broadband Platform to address evolving subscriber needs with comprehensive experiences that boost income, entrepreneurship, and business investment in their communities. For example: 🎮 Paul Bunyan Communications powered by the GigaZone built their popular GigaZone network with the Calix Platform. The innovative BSP has turned its region into a tech hub thanks to initiatives like its annual GigaZone Gaming Championship. 🛡️Bulloch Solutions is committed to delivering high value to their communities with managed Wi-Fi, parental controls, and security to enhance their subscriber’s experience. 🛜 Blackfoot Communications deploys the latest innovations from Calix to ensure residential subscribers and businesses receive safe, secure, and reliable connectivity.
