Interesting insight as AT&T plans to pursue a "state-specific strategy" when it comes to BEAD funding. Key items of importance to AT&T are household density, ability to serve multiple geographies, overall footprint, aggregation, and continuity. #BEAD #infrastructure #fiber

Looking forward to joining the #fiberconnect2023 crowd on Monday to deliver the keynote address and introduce so many key industry stakeholders to the work of the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council. Access to fast reliable internet is no longer a “nice to have” but an essential service to connect to work, school, healthcare and many other aspects of today’s web-based services. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided $65b to move the nation towards universal service. It’s my job to make sure that the federal permitting process isn’t an obstacle to delivering critical services to those who need them most. https://lnkd.in/ecuWy9Mx

Definitely appreciate this overview of the discussion between Tom Maguire (Brightspeed) and Harold Zeitz (Ziply Fiber) about challenges with deploying fiber. Most of us are very aware of the benefits of fiber broadband, but there are certainly unique challenges with fiber deployment. https://lnkd.in/ewfJct2T If you're interested in conversations like these, you'll definitely want to be part of #ConnectedAmerica https://lnkd.in/ebCeFFUr

Really enjoying #fibreconnect23 in Orlando. Its a hugely interesting market. Some great workshops, presentations and productive meetings. There is a real buzz as operators, states, municipalities, co-ops and utilities develop their BEAD funding plans. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, provides $42.45 billion to expand high-speed internet access by funding planning, infrastructure deployment and adoption programs in all 50 states along with other grants there is circa $70 billion available in grant funding. Many expect along with private capital that circa $200 billion will be spent bringing broadband to the unnerved or undeserved.

Take it from us: there’s nothing more impressive than that! However, it’s best to leave that kind of bravery to Claw. Reach out for a full list of fiber options currently available to your business, and we’ll make sure you have access to the best. #ImpressiveChoices #BraveConnection #FiberOptions #HighSpeedInternet #BusinessConnectivity #FastAndReliable #InternetSolutions #TechUpgrade #FiberOpticNetwork #BestInternetAccess #BoostYourBusiness #ConnectWithClaw #SuperiorConnectivity #EfficientCommunication #StayConnected

🎸Are you ready to jam at Fiber Connect next month in Nashville? We’re eager to head back to the show and hear from you about what’s trending in the world of fiber deployment since last summer. 🗓️ Last year three of our key takeaways were: 1️⃣ BEAD is Coming: Effective project financial management and stakeholder coordination remain critical as operators and contractors prepare for state grant applications and disbursements. 2️⃣ Regulatory Challenges: Permitting and locating issues are leading causes of project delays, necessitating improved relationships with local entities and better planning. 3️⃣ Collaborative Efforts: Real-time collaboration between operators and contractors enhances visibility and accuracy in deployment projects. 🤓 For more details, you can read our recap here: https://hubs.ly/Q02DzNG_0 👋 Drop by booth #681 to learn more about how we’re helping industry leaders with their fiber deployments.

The City of Sumter, SC worked with VC3 to extend their fiber network to meet the pressing need for public internet access and also allow the municipality to connect to their outlying facilities - like fire departments, water plants, and community centers. With the right approach, IT enables municipalities to do more with less funds and significantly improves the way the municipality serves the public. The extension of the city’s private fiber network demonstrates this conviction through the outcomes they’ve already experienced, including: - Wireless Access in Community Centers - Enhanced Video Surveillance for Public Safety - Streamlined Data Management for Police Mobility As they look ahead, the municipality intends to leverage the expansion of its fiber network as a catalyst for more IT improvements, including the deployment of additional data management sites for law enforcement. Plans are also being formulated to refine the way the city assesses network utilization and performance through comprehensive data collection and analysis across all connected sites and devices.
