#Ziply Fiber's CEO Harold Zeitz's message on the importance of fast and reliable local permitting approvals is spot on. It is especially timely as #Brightspeed, Ziply and fiber builders across the country launch into the $42.5 billon Broadband Equity Access Deployment (BEAD) program. BEAD will help companies like ours bring ultra-fast fiber #broadband to millions of homes and businesses that today lack the internet speeds necessary to work, learn, play, and innovate in today's connected world. To help make the BEAD dream a reality, however, we need efficient, streamlined federal, state and local permitting processes. #broadbandforall #fiberinternet

Read my latest blog on the additional action needed for BEAD and other broadband infrastructure funding to succeed. The FCC has a real opportunity to continue to improve the deployment case by further addressing its pole attachment regulations as it recently proposed for large builds. The states that regulate poles have a role to play as well. Time is of the essence as we anticipate BEAD funding in the coming months and next year. #internetforall
