Broadband 2030 Breakfast

As broadband deployment enters a new phase, providers are navigating workforce challenges, permitting hurdles, program requirements, and evolving funding realities. This interactive breakfast discussion brings together industry and policy leaders to explore what would make universal internet access possible over the next four years, and what we need to be doing today: 

• It is 2030. Every U.S. community has broadband access. What technological, economic, and policy developments helped make that outcome possible?
• Which assumptions about broadband deployment, competition, adoption, affordability, and sustainability proved right and which proved wrong?
• What role should policymakers, providers, suppliers, and community stakeholders play in supporting long-term connectivity outcomes?
• Which decisions made today are most likely to influence the broadband landscape in 2030?

Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute their perspectives and help identify the issues most critical to the future of broadband deployment.
