Still haven’t found what you’re looking for?. If that “what” is local champs closing the digital divide, @netinclusion's new map might be just the ticket — featuring 85+ coalitions across the US. We like it. We hope it’s useful for u2 (erm, you too). 👉

"Switching from fiber to satellite may reduce upfront costs, but it’s like replacing a bridge with a ferry — cheaper in the short term, but less effective and far more costly over the long haul.". Why BEAD's fiber-first approach remains the right choice 🇺🇸.

The numbers are in. New report confirms ACP more than paid for itself:.📌 $29B in annual healthcare savings.📌 $3.7B+ in future earnings from better student performance.📌 Billions in wage gains. We must keep investing in closing the digital divide.
Brattle experts provide an economic analysis of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) – which offered monthly broadband service subsidies to low-income households – and find that the benefits generated by the program far outweigh its costs.#telecom
