Enhancing digital agriculture technologies already in use today – and increasing producers’ usage to full-scale – could create at least $47 billion each year in additional gross benefit for the U.S. economy. Thanks to the @USDA for its work to provide grants and loans that support modern broadband connectivity in rural communities.
Robert Mayer, our Senior Vice President of Cybersecurity and Innovation, joined national security and communications on a panel before a Senate Commerce subcommittee on the evolving cyber threat landscape and how government and industry officials can work more together.

Today, members of @HouseCommerce marked up the American Broadband Deployment Act for construction projects – including broadband builds – on federal lands. This moves us closer to eliminating permitting nightmares that delay broadband progress.
Not all broadband is created equal.
In a new @agripulse op-ed, our CEO Jonathan Spalter illustrates why fiber broadband is the best deal for rural America, and the benefit of the bargain that taxpayers deserve.

Illegal robocallers exploit weak links in the system. The FCC just cut off 185 of them.
That’s a big step forward. When traceback meets strong enforcement, we can stop fraud before it hits your phone.
Kudos to @BrendanCarrFCC and @FCC
🚨🌟 Member Monday Spotlight
We’re kicking off a special member-driven campaign to highlight the critical role our #broadband members play in their communities. First up: Missoula, Montana’s @GoBlackfoot, which was named after the Blackfoot River. Beginning as a cooperative, their customers are also part-owners in the company, highlighting their focus on empowering their communities in western Montana and eastern Idaho. #WeAreBroadband
Kudos to USTelecom Board Chair and Blackfoot CEO Jason Williams and team for all the great work they do to connect their communities!
Big thanks to @BrendanCarrFCC and the @FCC for pushing real reform that boosts innovation, fuels investment, and gets more people online, faster. It’s a smart move that puts modern infrastructure—and Americans—first.
USTelecom is all-in on building faster, stronger #broadband to connect every American—no matter where they live. We applaud the @FCC for working to clear out outdated rules that slow down progress and hold back investment.

Congratulations to Arielle Roth as she steps in to lead @NTIAgov at a pivotal time for American innovation and connectivity. We stand ready to work with her to deliver on NTIA’s mission to help connect everyone in the U.S. to world-class #broadband.
A must-read if you’re following #BEAD.
Spoiler alert: To quote the report, “Fiber-optic technology represents the pinnacle of broadband performance, offering unmatched speed, reliability, capacity, and scalability, due to the vast bandwidth of its medium and the durability of optical fiber. It is the optimal solution.”
My new report analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of key broadband technologies—including fiber, coaxial cable, fixed wireless access (FWA), and satellite—and evaluates how effectively each addresses the requirements of the U.S. government’s 2025 Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program.

Great to speak with @RepHouchin, who brings deep #broadband leadership from Indiana’s statehouse—where she secured $350M in investment. Now in Congress, she’s a champion for fiber, rural growth, small business, and keeping Hoosiers connected. #IN09
