The global chip shortage impacts the communications & entertainment we rely on:
🗙Home routers & cable modems
🗙TVs & set-top boxes
🗙Smart home appliances
🗙Cameras, VR headsets & drones

Cable’s entry into mobile is driving prices down — and creating real competition for the Big Three.

See how more choices lead to lower costs.

Proud of our member @GetSpectrum for partnering with https://t.co/dBLjw8WnD9.Feed. and joining Gov. Abbott in recognizing the volunteers who helped rebuild the Dietert Center after the July floods. @CharterNewsroom #TexasStrong

[Governor Abbott Press Office @GovAbbottPress]

Governor @GregAbbott_TX visited the Dietert Center to thank the Kerrville volunteers whose hard work helped rebuild it after the July 4th floods.

These volunteers spirit & grit is what makes Texas strong.

Texas will keep supporting our communities.

A growing number of attacks on America’s broadband and wireless networks are threatening the essential systems that keep families connected, businesses running, and emergency responders online. https://t.co/LevFoTAg1W

As we look to the next phase of the US spectrum pipeline, it’s key to build on what’s working. At the Americas Spectrum Management Conference, NCTA’s Mary Claire York shared how 6 GHz & CBRS technologies drive investment, connect Americans, and why smart spectrum policy matters.

[Texas Cable Association @texascable]

Spectrum’s $46 million investment in Bexar County is part of a $7 billion national effort to expand fiber broadband to 1.7 million new homes and businesses. Connectivity that powers communities — across Texas and beyond. @CharterNewsroom #txlege https://t.co/gNY04P6JLp

[NCTA - The Internet & Television Association @NCTAitv]

At this year’s SCTE TechExpo25, policymakers and regulators from across the federal landscape voiced a clear and consistent message: smart, balanced spectrum policy is essential to keeping America at the forefront of broadband innovation. https://t.co/1qQCCijzdH

A well-deserved honor for @ColeHefnerTX! We appreciate his leadership on this critical issue. TCA is proud to join our @CTF_TX partners in accelerating broadband deployment and investment across Texas. #txlege #broadbandTX

[Rep. Cole Hefner @ColeHefnerTX]

I am honored to be named Legislator of the Year by Connect the Future Texas for my work to support broadband access across our state.

Reliable internet is no longer a luxury — it’s a lifeline for education, healthcare, jobs, and keeping communities connected. I’m proud to have passed SB 1646 to help stop copper theft and protect the infrastructure that delivers this critical service.

Thank you to Connect the Future Texas and their coalition of supporters for this recognition and for your commitment to ensuring every Texan has access to reliable broadband. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected Texas. #txlege

📚 As students across Texas head back to school, it's a great time to brush up on online safety! Check out these practical tips for parents and kids from the @bbb_us, including setting up tech in common spaces and keeping conversations open and honest: https://t.co/KV9dc5UVu3 #OnlineSafety #CyberSmart #txlege

Thank you, @AnaHdzTx, for highlighting this critical issue. Protecting our broadband infrastructure is vital for public safety and emergency response. Intentional fiber cuts threaten Texans when they need connectivity most. #txlege #HD143

[Ana Hernandez @AnaHdzTx]

With hurricane season upon us, intentional broadband fiber cuts are a greater threat to state and national security by cutting off access to emergency, police and government services. #txlege #HD143 1/4

[Texas Cable Association @texascable]

Thank you @SherylCole1 for highlighting this critical issue and protections for critical communications networks. From first responders to families, we all rely on on secure broadband infrastructure. #txlege

[Sheryl Cole @SherylCole1]

Broadband fiber cuts recently impacted us right here in Austin. Attacks on critical communications infrastructure threaten our public safety. #txlege

[Texas Cable Association @texascable]

We’re proud to highlight Charter Spectrum’s $100K donation to support Texas flood relief efforts. “We know well the importance of strong connections, not just through the services we provide, but with the communities we serve and in which our employees live and work.” #TexasStrong #txlege @CharterNewsroom https://t.co/wBeCtTuYwp

[Texas Cable Association @texascable]

Protecting Texas starts with protecting our infrastructure. Thank you to @ColeHefnerTX and @TXLege for taking action with SB 1646. Attacks on communications systems don’t just disrupt service—they put lives at risk. See something suspicious? Please report it. #publicsafety

[Rep. Cole Hefner @ColeHefnerTX]

As the sponsor of SB 1646, I passed legislation making it a felony to attack critical communications infrastructure in Texas. These criminals aren’t just damaging property — they’re endangering lives and threatening public safety.

Law enforcement needs your help. If you see something suspicious, report it immediately. Let’s hold these offenders accountable and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Texas won’t tolerate attacks on our infrastructure.

Fittingly, these lower-cost plans have been popular with Americans, according to analysis from industry research leader MoffettNathanson.

Cable's share of total mobile phone net adds was roughly 54% in the second quarter of 2024. https://t.co/b3UGkmshwM
