Our second annual Fiber Day on the Hill was a HUGE success! Thank you to all 350 participants from Congress, Administration, and FBA Members who came out to show their support and spread the word that fiber is the best way to connect Americans to reliable, future-proof internet service in a world of new digital opportunities.

Happy Independence Day to FBA members, the fiber broadband industry, and all Americans. 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate our country’s Declaration of Independence and our freedom. It’s also a perfect opportunity to celebrate our industry’s progress in connecting every community across the nation to high-performance fiber broadband. The path to connectivity is advancing across the fiber broadband ecosystem, including the NTIA’s approval of 15 states’ Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) initial proposals, launching us closer to closing the Digital Divide. With the power of fiber broadband, every American gains the opportunity to participate in the digital economy, advance education and careers, and push the boundaries of what our freedom makes possible.

As a part of its Smart City approach, the City of Calgary views fiber as a key technology to enable businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities to create solutions along with delivering services and solving community problems. The city currently operates around 800 kilometers of fiber at 1,000 locations, with demark points ranging from office buildings accommodating hundreds of employees to control cabinets necessitating machine-to-machine direct connections and backhauls to specialized control centers.

America’s fiber deployments face many challenges, with permitting and accessing rights-of-way among the long-lead items service providers and construction firms face. Of the many types of rights of way network operator UTOPIA Fiber has faced, there’s one that’s the “cream of the crop” in terms of needed lead time and preparation when compared to getting access to build around or under state roads and canals and obtaining pole attachments, tasks which typically take anywhere from two to six weeks.
