Connecting Every American
Building Broadband's Future
Having a high-speed internet connection at home opens up a world of opportunity. It is essential for education, remote work, communicating with friends and family and so much more. The cable industry has built gigabit speed networks that reach most of America and is working to extend access to communities that are being connected for the first time. With a focused effort on reaching unserved homes, the goal of connecting all Americans is finally within reach.
Broadband Across America
Every Last Mile
What does it take to bring high-speed internet to America’s unserved rural and remote areas? EVERY LAST MILE delves into the resilience and dedication of cable broadband crews as they overcome harsh conditions and complex obstacles to bridge the digital divide.
Expanding Rural Broadband
The cable industry is committed to being part of the solution, building out high-speed networks to all corners of the country, ensuring everyone has access to our nation’s opportunity infrastructure. Cable operators have the knowledge and experience to use funding made possible by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act strategically and efficiently. Let’s keep expanding rural infrastructure and make universal broadband a reality.
Investing in Infrastructure
Billions in annual private capital investment has enabled cable operators to build and continually upgrade broadband networks that offer gigabit speeds throughout America.
Experience Matters
With fast and reliable internet comes a world of opportunity. America's cable industry has the expertise to connect communities in every corner of the country.
Success Stories
Solutions to Get Broadband to All
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.
Reach Rural Areas
Dedicate funding to communities with no broadband service or areas that won't get built without government help.
Use Smart Technology
Allow every technology that can deliver broadband to unserved communities to compete for federal funding.
Future Proof Networks
Ensure networks are future proofed by establishing speed benchmarks that meet consumer needs and demand.
Require Fair Competition
There are many different players positioned to own, build and operate broadband networks and they should all be given an equal opportunity to compete.
Modernize Safety Net
Deliver subsidies to low-income families to help pay the monthly cost of broadband service.
Closing the Digital Divide
The cable industry is committed to closing the digital divide by offering programs that help families overcome barriers to broadband access. Through low-cost internet service, computer equipment, and digital literacy training for low-income Americans, cable providers are expanding access and opportunity across the country.
