Let's redefine the internet in service to the public. The system we have today strangles access and opportunity. The system is failing us. It does not serve every community. It does not serve the Americans who need it most https://t.co/ljwe5twjsS

We're excited to announce new investment for our work to connect communities https://t.co/jY9lIVOny7 via @FierceTelecom

Coming soon to Fountain, CO & Salinas, CA: open access community fiber networks. 🌐

Read up on #RiseOfRest-backed @UnderlineInfra’s plans to bring ultra-fast and ultra-affordable internet to two new markets in @telecompetitor. https://t.co/eHtYkur7nA

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Thank you @EmilyNonko for telling the story about why we're building an open access community fiber network for #ColoradoSprings and the impact it will have on the community https://t.co/V1mTWolQz9 @NextCityOrg

[Rise of the Rest @RiseOfRest]

Communities win when Internet is:
⚡Fast
✅ Affordable

#RiseOfRest-backed @UnderlineInfra is laying the groundwork to make that win a widespread reality. ��� Read more on the startup's plans to break up #broadband monopolies in @Axios. https://t.co/gb02Ts4jGx

Startup Underline wants to break up broadband monopolies using a business model that's starting to gain traction https://t.co/w0UmlBxPdN

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Yes, we do indeed! Colorado Springs is market #1, with more to come.

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

In an open access model, a city or a private company like Underline builds and maintains the physical infrastructure, and invites multiple independent providers to run services on the network https://t.co/zERxnAPHqf

Underline Takes on Big Telecom, Starting in Colorado Springs - Bloomberg Feature

FTC portfolio company Underline is on a mission to bring reliable connectivity to 42m Americans in rural areas. Open access networks and community infrastructure are 🔑

[Eva Arevuo @evaarevuo]

And we're live! This is just the beginning.

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

Most Americans have limited internet options — if any at all. Can the open access model make it easier for small companies to enter the market?

Thanks to @CityLab & @linpoonsays for covering what we're doing for U.S. communities. Taking on Big Telecom. Starting in Colorado Springs! https://t.co/5TGy4MILXh

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Big day today! We’re excited to announce we've started construction on open access community fiber network in Colorado Springs! Thanks to @CSCEDC & @CityofCOS for their engagement & support https://t.co/UVFnNPwblP

[Eva Arevuo @evaarevuo]

Equitable access to high-speed internet requires 3 things: 1) the right #infrastructure across communities 2) affordable rates for top speeds, not just the lowest speeds...3) grassroots outreach to support adoption https://t.co/C3OlIBTZgl It's about more than just #broadband

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Stunning research from @pewresearch confirming that the internet has been essential during the pandemic, but not everyone has the access they need. #Opportunity barriers like the #homeworkgap, for example, disproportionately impact lower-income students https://t.co/oaYPaQ6F0W

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

1 in 7 U.S. kids does not have sufficient internet at home to attend online school, join study groups, or even complete homework. https://t.co/8lMf9lpQzg New research from @NewAmerica paints a bleak picture of the #opportunitygap. It's more than just a #homeworkgap

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Awesome project from @ConsumerReports and @verge to crowdsource info on what internet across the country actually costs https://t.co/Ku42bos9mI #opportunitydivide

[Eva Arevuo @evaarevuo]

Devastating but not surprising: redlining still exists in digital form. https://t.co/MIZmMK8xSa The "communities that couldn't get mortgage loans in the 1940s are the same areas without fast home internet service today..." #opportunitygap @sharatibken

[Eva Arevuo @evaarevuo]

Closer to the solution: a dynamic marketplace of multiple ISPs all on fiber + a program to offer the same ultra fast speeds at a reduced price for qualifying households @JohnBHorrigan

[Underline @UnderlineInfra]

Excellent piece by @JohnBHorrigan details why 2 ISPs (cable and fiber) does not equal competition, and why the mere existence of a network does not equal adoption https://t.co/jY0qHDHBfa

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

As growing cities like Dallas, Austin, and Atlanta sprawl, they often invest in high-cost transit and highway projects that ignore their residents' immediate needs, writes @cmhrrs https://t.co/LUmaMr1xy9
