June 2020 GAO broadband report, what we use >100+Mbps for libraries. Small Biz, 50+Mbps. Families, 25+Mbps. Email 1+Mbps.
Gigabit doesn't make the list.

The @FCC's allowed fixed wireless ISPs use of 5.9 GHz spectrum during #COVID19, leading to improved/expanded Internet access for consumers. From Amplex in Luckey, OH to ZIRKEL Wireless in Steamboat Springs, CO, WISPs are helping #KeepAmericansConnected! https://t.co/jMnAwWBzcr
This is huge.
Tens of thousands of #rural Americans are getting better #broadband during this national crisis because of the thoughtful leadership of @AjitPaiFCC and the round-the-clock work by @FCC and @NTIAgov staffs to coordinate these temporary #spectrum grants.
Great convo indeed and it was our pleasure for sure, although next time we ought to have an air guitar challenge. It would be good use of both of your times AND can count as cardio.
Just throwing it out there.
Thanks to @ctaiken and @WISPAnews for a good conversation about how fixed wireless providers are closing the #digitaldivide and helping #KeepAmericansConnected, and how @FCC can help them better serve consumers with policies like greater spectrum access! https://t.co/WjE4SuObj4
WISPA Cheers 6 GHz Order
"[The FCC] realized that the 6 GHz band demanded better use, and that the benefits of this new 'real estate,' which sits right next to the unlicensed workhorse 5 GHz band, will be immense for the American people."

Join @AjitPaiFCC & @OTI for webinar: April 6 at 1 pm ET re Easing the Home Connectivity Crunch. We're talking Next Gen Wi-Fi w/ @RossAMarchand, @WISPAnews' Christina Mason, @shlbcoalition's John Windhausen, @CharterGOV's Audrey Connors, @C_Szymanski https://t.co/RtnrdFeQ3B
On Monday I'll join @OTI to discuss the growing need for more Wi-Fi bandwidth, proposals from the @FCC to open more than 1200 megahertz of unlicensed spectrum for Wi-Fi, and future use cases for Wi-Fi and wireless connectivity. #RSVP now! https://t.co/kaRMR7Zvmj
Thank you @AjitPaiFCC! Opening up 850 MHz of unlicensed spectrum usable for #WISPs will mean better and faster rural broadband. Our members will use this to make rural broadband better and bring more competition everywhere!

Fantastic! @FCC pulling out all the stops to make sure Americans keep connected in this time of crisis! These @WISPAnews members are grateful for the additional capacity.
What if you could get almost 2 gigabit-per-second #WiFi? What if low-latency Wi-Fi turbocharged gaming, augmented/virtual reality, and more? The @FCC's #6GHz initiative could make that a reality. Thanks to teams @Intel/@Broadcom for demo of what could be! https://t.co/DDF3D5b5iT

Ross Marchand: "While spectrum is often licensed to specific companies and exclusively managed, there’s a growing recognition of the need for shared, unlicensed spectrum."
