Here’s What It Will Take to Achieve “Internet for All”
While details of President Biden’s State of the Union address are being closely guarded, we can expect infrastructure, including our nation’s broadband networks, to play a starring role.

Net Fatality: The FCC Is About to Blow our Best Chance to Have Internet for All
By Michael Powell NCTA President & CEO The COVID pandemic exposed the importance of having the internet at home. People without access couldn’t work, educate their kids or provide for their family’s health.
