The Untold Story of Connecting Rural America.

Watch crews overcome tough terrain and real-world obstacles to connect communities.

Expanding Access

Expanding Broadband Access for All in Washington.

Ensuring that all Americans have access to broadband networks is an important goal for our nation. However, to best achieve this goal, targeted measures should be implemented to build in areas where broadband doesn’t exist, and to modernize a safety net to help low-income families adopt and afford internet service.

Dedicate funding to communities with no broadband service or areas that won't get built without government help.

Allow every technology that can deliver broadband to unserved communities to compete for federal funding.

Ensure networks are future proofed by establishing speed benchmarks that meet consumer needs and demand.

There are many different players positioned to own, build and operate broadband networks and they should all be given an equal opportunity to compete.

Deliver subsidies to low-income families to help pay the monthly cost of broadband service.
