America’s Expanding Cable Broadband Networks: The South, Part 2
As America targets efforts towards connecting every community to robust broadband – including the distribution of more than $40 billion in federal funds for building new networks – cable providers continue to do what they have always done: build out their networks to reach as many Americans as possible. Here is a small sampling of broadband projects by cable ISPs underway as they prepare to deliver superfast internet speeds in communities across parts of the South. Check out NCTA.com for other projects currently underway in the Midwest, Central U.S., the Pacific West, the Mid-Atlantic, and The
How Cox Prepares to Keep Its Operation Running When Natural Disasters Strike
When a natural disaster strikes an area, the effects and aftermath can be devastating. The hurricanes and wildfires of the past couple of years left regions of the country in vulnerable conditions.

This type of planning involves intense organization around threat monitoring and assessment, setting up emergency notification systems, developing disaster recovery charts
Charter's Trials in Wireless Technologies Will Bring More Coverage to Unserved Areas
Over the past two decades, cable broadband providers have invested over $275 billion in building robust high-speed broadband networks that power the online experiences for millions of Americans every day. As a result, more than 90 percent of U.S. homes now have hyper-fast connectivity, but there are still areas where there is not sufficient access to high-speed broadband. To continue closing this gap, ISPs are hard at work looking for innovative ways to bring fast and reliable internet to such communities. Charter Communications—which spans 41 states and has invested more than $27 billion
