JUST RELEASED: ACA Connects files updates to the #5GPlusPlan.
Working with programmers, supporters give details on how to design and implement an ultra-reliable #fiber network. Propose an extra $0.9 billion for programmers’ transition costs.

There are several plans in front of the @FCC that propose how to transition #CBand spectrum to mobile broadband.
Hopefully these give the Commission a fast path forward.
With CAPEX reductions planned for major providers, the #5GPlusPlan could be a major boost, with 120k route miles of fiber funded - particularly into rural areas:

Tomorrow, I’ll be explaining to @EnergyCommerce lawmakers how the @FCC’s C-Band proceeding can seriously hurt or significantly help rural U.S. Tune in to the hearing on "Repurposing the C-Band to Benefit All Americans.” @5GPlusPlan https://t.co/lBDhrG1S90
How can the @FCC's #CBand proceeding seriously help the rural US? Read about the only plan on the table that will acheive @ajitpaifcc's goals, promote competition, and then some via @ACAConnects@CCAmobile | https://t.co/blo3YRV5IX
Chairman @AjitPaiFCC takes a moment during today's hearing to recognize the FCC's auctions team: "They’ve done heroic work helping to close the digital divide," and says he is glad to have talented public servants like them at the agency.
We must accomplish 4 goals in the C-Band proceeding, says @AjitPaiFCC:
1) We must make available a significant amount of spectrum for #5G
2) We must make this spectrum available for 5G quickly
3) We must generate revenue for the federal government
(cont'd)
@AjitPaiFCC The #5GPlusPlan accomplishes all these things:
✅370 MHz for #5G
✅Within 3 years, 5 for rural areas
✅Billions for U.S. taxpayers
✅Future-proof #fiber video for consumers
Chairman @AjitPaiFCC outlines his 4 priorities for #CBand:
☑️ Significant amount of spectrum for #5G
☑️ Get that spectrum quickly
☑️ Must generate revenue for treasury
☑️ Must ensure services will continue for consumers
