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.

Investing in Infrastructure
Economic Impact
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.
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.
Success Stories
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.
Future-Proofing the Network
The cable industry is building the broadband network of the future, featuring fiber-rich technologies, constant monitoring and self-healing infrastructure, and an advanced network management system. The 10G network will deliver internet speeds up to 10 gigabits per second with the power, capacity, and security to power America's digital future.
